NVIDIA ships Nemotron 3.5 Super VL, an open AI model for agents, plus two Bolt models
The open 120-billion-parameter Super VL and the 24GB Bolt 74B-A9B are out now. A smaller Bolt E4B follows on Oct. 23.
Summary
NVIDIA released Nemotron 3.5 Super VL, an open 120-billion-parameter model for always-on agents. It understands images, webpages and PDFs, then acts on them. Two smaller Bolt models run locally: Bolt 74B-A9B is out now, and Bolt E4B arrives Oct. 23.
What changed
- Super VL is on Hugging Face, Open Router and the ModelScope community, and also comes as NVIDIA NIM.
- Bolt 74B-A9B 24GB uses native 2-bit quantization to fit in 24GB of memory. It runs everyday agent tasks on NVIDIA RTX/DGX Spark.
- Bolt E4B 4GB targets fast conversational agents, such as voice assistants and embedded interfaces. It arrives Oct. 23.
- Super VL comes with open weights, open datasets and training recipes.
Availability
Available now“Super VL and Bolt 74B-A9B are available now, with Bolt E4B coming Oct. 23.”
Founder takeaway
If you build agents that read documents or webpages, or want one running on your own RTX hardware, try Super VL or Bolt 74B-A9B now. Bolt E4B isn't out until Oct. 23, so there's nothing to do with it yet.
