In this latest Nvidia extravaganza at GTC 2025, Jensen H takes the stage to unveil the company's latest data center innovations. What used to be a developer-centric affair has now morphed into a spectacle aimed squarely at investors. The star of the show? Nvidia's reasoning models, promising a surge in tokens for a myriad of tasks. Enter the llama neotron models, building on the llama 3.1 and 3.3 foundations, with the new llama 3.3 neotron super 49b V1 stealing the spotlight. It sounds like a weapon from a sci-fi flick, but it's all about distilled power from the 70b model.
But why is Nvidia hitching its wagon to the llama series instead of blazing its own trail? With ample GPUs and a crack team of researchers, one would think they'd go solo. Instead, they're tinkering with meta ai's llama models, experimenting with post-training techniques and reinforcement learning. The release of the 49b and 8b models, along with a generous post-training dataset, signals Nvidia's foray into democratizing model training. The dataset, boasting millions of samples across various domains, is a goldmine for those venturing into reasoning model development.
The real test comes when users dive into Nvidia's API to put these models through their paces. The ability to toggle detailed thinking on and off adds a layer of intrigue to the experience. While the 49b model shines with its high-quality thinking reminiscent of Deep seek, the 8b model falls short of expectations. Nvidia's move is bold, but questions linger about the 8b model's viability compared to existing alternatives. As the community delves into these models and shares feedback, the debate over optimal model sizes for local versus cloud usage rages on. With links to code and demos provided, the stage is set for enthusiasts to explore Nvidia's latest offerings and push the boundaries of reasoning model capabilities.
