Model check - NVIDIA Nemotron Nano 2 - An Efficient Hybrid LLM that Beats Reasoning Benchmarks

The race for more capable large language models has largely been about scaling—bigger models, more parameters, more compute. NVIDIA’s Nemotron Nano 2 challenges this paradigm with a hybrid architecture that achieves competitive performance through architectural innovation rather than brute-force scaling. The Architectural Revolution Nemotron Nano 2 introduces a hybrid layer pattern that combines…
