Nemotron 3 Nano: Open, Efficient Mixture-of-Experts Hybrid Mamba-Transformer Model for Agentic Reasoning

We present Nemotron 3 Nano 30B-A3B, a Mixture-of-Experts hybrid Mamba-Transformer language model. Nemotron 3 Nano was pretrained on 25 trillion text tokens, including more than 3 trillion new unique tokens over Nemotron 2, followed by supervised fine tuning and large-scale RL on diverse environments. Nemotron 3 Nano achieves better accuracy than our previous generation Nemotron 2 Nano while activating less than half of the parameters per forward pass. It achieves up to 3.3x higher inference throughput than similarly-sized open models like GPT-OSS-20B and Qwen3-30B-A3B-Thinking-2507, while also being more accurate on popular benchmarks. Nemotron 3 Nano demonstrates enhanced agentic, reasoning, and chat abilities and supports context lengths up to 1M tokens. We release both our pretrained Nemotron 3 Nano 30B-A3B Base and post-trained Nemotron 3 Nano 30B-A3B checkpoints on Hugging Face.

Near-Optimal Coded Apertures for Imaging via Nazarov's Theorem

We characterize the fundamental limits of coded aperture imaging systems up to universal constants by drawing upon a theorem of Nazarov regarding Fourier transforms. Our work is performed under a simple propagation and sensor model that accounts for thermal and shot noise, scene correlation, and exposure time. Focusing on mean square error as a measure of linear reconstruction quality, we show that appropriate application of a theorem of Nazarov leads to essentially optimal coded apertures, up to a constant multiplicative factor in exposure time. Additionally, we develop a heuristically efficient algorithm to generate such patterns that explicitly takes into account scene correlations. This algorithm finds apertures that correspond to local optima of a certain potential on the hypercube, yet are guaranteed to be tight. Finally, for i.i.d. scenes, we show improvements upon prior work by using spectrally flat sequences with bias. The development focuses on 1D apertures for conceptual clarity; the natural generalizations to 2D are also discussed.
