Frequently asked questions about Nemotron 3 Embed 8B
Answered from the entry's own fields: context, license, modalities, evidence, serving and the memory to self-host.
Nemotron 3 Embed 8B advertises a context window of 262,144 tokens. The figure is the creator's published maximum; a given provider may serve less, and the gateway routes on what each provider actually serves.
Yes. Nemotron 3 Embed 8B is an open-weight model released under the Other license, so the weights can be downloaded and self-hosted within that license's terms.
Nemotron 3 Embed 8B accepts Text and produces Embedding. The capabilities card on this page lists which API features each deployment honours, such as function calling and structured output, with the source each was checked against.
No published benchmark result for Nemotron 3 Embed 8B is in the catalog yet, so the model is shown as unmeasured. It is not ranked or estimated; the router treats it as unknown for every task until a suite measures it.
Yes. Nemotron 3 Embed 8B is served on the managed pool through the OpenAI-compatible endpoint as nvidia-nemotron-3-embed-8b, pinned by name or chosen by routing when it is the best fit for a request. The Try in Playground button opens it directly.
About 8.3 GB at INT8 for the weights and a default context, from the catalog's 8B parameter count; FP16 needs roughly twice that, and long contexts or many concurrent requests add KV cache on top. The GPU section on this page lists cards that hold it, and the capacity planner sizes it for your context length and traffic.
