Key takeaways
  • NVIDIA released the Nemotron-Labs-3-Puzzle-75B-A9B compressed LLM.
  • The Iterative Puzzle method reduces total parameters by over 35 percent.
  • Server throughput doubles on 8xB200 nodes compared to the Super model.
  • Concurrency for long contexts increases eightfold on H100 hardware.
Full story

NVIDIA introduced Nemotron-Labs-3-Puzzle-75B-A9B, a compressed version of its Nemotron-3-Super model. This release utilizes a new method called Iterative Puzzle, which combines hardware-aware structural compression with short knowledge distillation phases to recover lost accuracy.

The compression process successfully reduced the model from 120.7 billion total parameters down to 75.3 billion. Active parameters also saw a decrease, dropping from 12.8 billion to 9.3 billion, making the model significantly lighter without sacrificing performance.

Benchmarks show substantial efficiency gains on modern hardware. On a single node with eight B200 GPUs, the model delivers 2.03 times the total throughput of the Super model while maintaining 100 tokens per second per user. Additionally, on a single H100 GPU, the system can handle eight concurrent requests for 1 million token contexts, up from just one.
