Nemotron-Cascade
Nemotron-Cascade is NVIDIA’s family of small dense reasoning models trained with sequential reinforcement learning across multiple task domains. The release explores how staged training can improve mathematics, coding, alignment, and agent tasks without losing earlier skills. The 8B and 14B checkpoints include dedicated thinking and standard-response variants. Long-context evaluations apply model-specific RoPE scaling, so their 64K or 90K evaluation windows should not be treated as uniform native context limits. Weights and evaluation scripts support research and adaptation.
