Nvidia's Nemotron 4 Targets Trillion-Parameter Scale, but Chinese Rivals Already Lead

Nvidia is developing Nemotron 4, an open-weight AI model family with a trillion-parameter flagship, expected as early as fall 2026. However, Chinese labs like Moonshot AI and DeepSeek already ship larger models, with Kimi K3 at 2.8 trillion parameters and DeepSeek V4 Pro at 1.6 trillion. Nvidia has tripled cloud spending to $28 billion through 2031, betting on open models to drive GPU demand, even as it competes with customers like OpenAI.

NVIDIA Launches Magpie Multilingual TTS, an Open-Weight Voice Model for 12 Languages

NVIDIA has released Magpie Multilingual TTS, an open-weights text-to-speech model supporting 12 languages, including new additions like Arabic, Korean, and Brazilian Portuguese. The 364M-parameter model is designed for low-latency voice agents, offering developers full control over deployment, from private servers to air-gapped environments. Benchmarks show sub-200ms end-to-end latency on B200 GPUs, with architectural improvements like frame stacking and local transformers enhancing speed. The model is available on Hugging Face under the NVIDIA Open Model License, paired with NIM microservices and NeMo for fine-tuning.
