Nvidia is developing Nemotron 4 open-source models: The Information

Nvidia is developing a new AI model family, Nemotron 4, ​with the goal of ​rivaling top open-source models globally, The Information reported on ​Tuesday, citing people who work on the project.

The chip giant is among the few major US firms to release open-source models, which have drawn more attention ‌this year ⁠as ⁠AI bills balloon and cheap Chinese models near the capabilities of top systems from ​leading American labs Anthropic and OpenAI.

A spate of recently disclosed hacks involving autonomous AI agents has added to the attention, especially because open models do not have curbs on cybersecurity use.
