"They have Nemotron now. Nemotron by all appearances is like a great start and I know a lot of people in our portfolio that are actually quite bullish on the future of Nemotron."

Part of the emerging Western open-source ecosystem alongside Inkling

What creators say

Used for: Open models in Atlassian's AI platform vs: Contrasted with Chinese open models, which Atlassian doesn't use in production

"There is not customer push back to open models. We use a lot of Nemotron in our platform. For example, we have a deep partnership with Nvidia and that is fine, right?"

"If you look at what Nvidia did with their last Neatron series, they took the big model and they actually distilled it with logits down to a smaller dense model."

Used for: Open-weight AI inference for government and enterprise deployments on sovereign/on-prem infrastructure Praised: Roughly twice as fast and 60 times cheaper than GPT 5.5 or Claude Opus 4.8 vs: Compared to GPT 5.5 and Claude Opus 4.8 — faster and cheaper but not yet smarter

"Palantir and Nvidia have announced a sovereign AI architecture that puts Nvidia's Neotron open models inside of Palantir's platform. Neotron's edge is speed and cost — it can be roughly twice as fast and 60 times cheaper than GPT 5.5 or Claude 4.8..."
