Cross-Model KV Cache Transfer in LLM Families: A Closed-Form Linear Mapping for Prefill Reuse
Taekyung Heo, Rasoul Shafipour, Ritchie Zhao +6
Production deployments often swap between different-sized models in a family for cost-quality cascading, mid-conversation switching, and routing, and each swap forces the receiver…
Nemotron 3 Ultra: Open, Efficient Mixture-of-Experts Hybrid Mamba-Transformer Model for Agentic Reasoning
NVIDIA, :, Aaron Blakeman +571
We introduce Nemotron 3 Ultra, a 550 billion total and 55 billion active parameter Mixture-of-Experts Hybrid Mamba-Attention language model. We pre-trained Nemotron 3 Ultra on 20 t…
SPEED-Bench: A Unified and Diverse Benchmark for Speculative Decoding
Talor Abramovich, Maor Ashkenazi, Izzy Putterman +5
Speculative Decoding (SD) has emerged as a critical technique for accelerating Large Language Model (LLM) inference. Unlike deterministic system optimizations, SD performance is in…
Accelerating RL Post-Training Rollouts via System-Integrated Speculative Decoding
Hayate Iso, Tiyasa Mitra, Sudipta Mondal +15
RL post-training of frontier language models is increasingly bottlenecked by autoregressive rollout generation, making rollout acceleration a central systems challenge. Many existi…
Guess-Verify-Refine: Data-Aware Top-K for Sparse-Attention Decoding on Blackwell via Temporal Correlation
Long Cheng, Ritchie Zhao, Timmy Liu +7
Sparse-attention decoders rely on exact Top-K selection to choose the most important key-value entries for each query token. In long-context LLM serving, this Top-K stage runs once…
Nemotron 3 Super: Open, Efficient Mixture-of-Experts Hybrid Mamba-Transformer Model for Agentic Reasoning
NVIDIA, :, Aakshita Chandiramani +544
We describe the pre-training, post-training, and quantization of Nemotron 3 Super, a 120 billion (active 12 billion) parameter hybrid Mamba-Attention Mixture-of-Experts model. Nemo…
