Nemotron 3.5 Bolt 74B A9B is a hybrid vision-language Mixture-of-Experts model designed for local agentic tasks, coding, and visual reasoning. It features 74B total parameters with 9B active, using an 88-layer architecture with 4,096 hidden size, 32 attention heads, and 2 KV heads. The backbone interleaves Mamba-2, LatentMoE, and attention layers, with each MoE layer activating 9 routed experts and a shared expert per token. Compressed from Nemotron 3.5 Super VL, it adds a C-RADIO v4-H vision encoder and 256K-token context, with the BF16 checkpoint aimed at post-training.
