What is Nemotron?
NVIDIA Nemotron™ is a family of open models with open weights, training data, and recipes, delivering leading efficiency and accuracy for building specialized AI agents.
Description
NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Ultra-550B-A55B-GenRM is a Generative Reward Model (GenRM) that leverages NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Ultra-550B-A55B-BF16 as the foundation and is fine-tuned to evaluate the quality of assistant's responses.
Given a conversation history, a new user request, and two candidate assistant responses, it produces an individual helpfulness score for each response and a ranking score. The model also accepts user-specified principles, when given the principles, it judges the responses based on the principles.
This GenRM is used in the Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback training of NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Ultra-550B-A55B-BF16.
For training details, see the Nemotron 3 Ultra technical report.
This model is ready for commercial and non-commercial use.

Use of this model is governed by the OpenMDW License Agreement, version 1.1 (OpenMDW-1.1).
Deployment Geography: Global
Use Case
This GenRM is used in the Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback training of NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Ultra-550B-A55B-BF16.

Our AI models are designed and optimized to run on NVIDIA GPU-accelerated systems. By leveraging NVIDIA's hardware (e.g. GPU cores) and software frameworks (e.g., CUDA libraries), the model achieves faster training and inference times compared to CPU-only solutions.
Software Integration
- Runtime Engine(s): NeMo 26.04.01
- Supported Hardware Microarchitecture Compatibility: NVIDIA Ampere - A100; NVIDIA Blackwell; NVIDIA Hopper - H100-80GB
- Operating System(s): Linux
The integration of foundation and fine-tuned models into AI systems requires additional testing using use-case-specific data to ensure safe and effective deployment. Following the V-model methodology, iterative testing and validation at both unit and system levels are essential to mitigate risks, meet technical and functional requirements, and ensure compliance with safety and ethical standards before deployment.
Model Version(s)
Quick Start Guide
The model shares the same architecture as NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Ultra-550B-A55B-BF16.
Deployment instructions can be found on the NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Ultra-550B-A55B-BF16 model card.
Now you can query the model, here is an example:
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(base_url="http://127.0.0.1:8000/v1", api_key="dummy")
msg = [
{"role": "user", "content": "What is 1+1?"},
{"role": "assistant", "content": "1+1=2"},
{"role": "user", "content": "What about 1+2?"},
{"role": "response_1", "content": "1+2=4"},
{"role": "response_2", "content": "1+2=3"}
]
completion = client.chat.completions.create(
model="nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Ultra-550B-A55B-GenRM",
messages=msg,
temperature=1.0,
top_p=0.95,
max_tokens=24576,
stream=False
)
output = completion.choices[0].message.content
print(output)
You can also use it with pre-defined principles by formatting message as:
msg = [
{"role": "user", "content": "How's the weather in LA?"},
{"role": "response_1", "content": "I don't have access to real-time data, so I can't give you the current weather in Los Angeles."},
{"role": "response_2", "content": "Most days sit in the 65 °F–80 °F (18 °C–27 °C) range, with cooler evenings, especially near the coast."},
{"role": "principle", "content": "You will be given one or more evaluation criteria (rubrics).\nEvaluate both responses on EACH criterion individually first, then synthesize an overall judgment.\nCriteria:\n\n1. Response should state that it doesn't have access to real-time data."}
]
Note that the conversation history should be presented in "user" and "assistant" roles, where the last turn is user turn. The responses to be judged should be in "response_1" and "response_2" roles, and pre-defined principles should be in "principle" role. When no principle is given, it defaults to a general helpfulness principle.
Interpretation of Scores
For individual helpfulness score, it ranges from 1 to 5, where higher means better.
For ranking score, it ranges from 1 to 6, where:
- 1 = Response 1 is much better than Response 2
- 2 = Response 1 is better than Response 2
- 3 = Response 1 is slightly better than Response 2
- 4 = Response 2 is slightly better than Response 1
- 5 = Response 2 is better than Response 1
- 6 = Response 2 is much better than Response 1

Base Pre-Training Corpus (Nemotron 3 Foundation)
The foundation of the model is trained on the Nemotron-3-Ultra corpus, comprising the following datasets from the Nemotron Pre-Training Datasets collection:
Table with columns: Dataset Collection, Token Counts, Description| Dataset Collection | Token Counts | Description |
|---|
| Nemotron-CC-v2 & v2.1 | 9.1T | A massive collection of English web data filtered from Common Crawl, including 2.5T+ tokens of new organic, translated, and synthetically rephrased content. |
| Nemotron-CC-Code-v1 | 427.9B | High-quality code tokens extracted from Common Crawl using the Lynx + LLM pipeline to preserve structure and equations. |
| Nemotron-Pretraining-Code-v1 & v2 & v3 | 1.7T | Curated GitHub code references with multi-stage filtering, deduplication, and large-scale synthetic code data. |
| Nemotron-CC-Math-v1 | 133.3B | High-quality math pre-training dataset preserving LaTeX formatting and mathematical structures. |
Public Datasets
Crawled and Scraped from Online Sources by NVIDIA
The English Common Crawl data was downloaded from the Common Crawl Foundation (see their FAQ for details on their crawling) and includes the snapshots CC-MAIN-2013-20 through CC-MAIN-2025-13. The data was subsequently deduplicated and filtered in various ways described in the Nemotron-CC paper. Additionally, we extracted data for fifteen languages from the following three Common Crawl snapshots: CC-MAIN-2024-51, CC-MAIN-2025-08, CC-MAIN-2025-18. The fifteen languages included were Arabic, Chinese, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, and Thai. As we did not have reliable multilingual model-based quality classifiers available, we applied just heuristic filtering instead—similar to what we did for lower quality English data in the Nemotron-CC pipeline, but selectively removing some filters for some languages that did not work well. Deduplication was done in the same way as for Nemotron-CC.
The GitHub Crawl was collected using the GitHub REST API and the Amazon S3 API. Each crawl was operated in accordance with the rate limits set by its respective source, either GitHub or S3. We collect raw source code and subsequently remove any having a license which does not exist in our permissive-license set (for additional details, refer to the technical report).
