NVIDIA Nemotron-4 340B Released: A New Era in AI

In this video, NVIDIA’s latest AI model family, Nemotron-4 340B, is introduced and reviewed. Released quietly last Friday, the Nemotron-4 340B series includes three main versions: Base, Instruct, and Reward. These models, available under NVIDIA’s Open Model License Agreement, are designed for commercial use and modification. The video delves into the technical specifications of the Nemotron-4 340B Base, highlighting its impressive architecture with 96 Transformer layers, 9.4 billion embedding parameters, and training on 9 trillion tokens. The model’s performance on various benchmarks, including ARC Challenge, WinoGrande, and Hellaswag, is discussed, showing high scores and competitive results. The use of synthetic data for model alignment is also emphasized, with over 98% of the data being synthetically generated. The video includes a comparison test between the Nemotron-4 and Claude 3 Sonet, showing results in content creation, math problem-solving, and coding tasks. While both models perform well, Claude 3 Sonet is noted for its structured and clear responses, particularly in content creation and math explanations. The video concludes with a brief coding challenge in C, demonstrating the models’ capabilities and limitations in code generation.
