MODEL PROFILE

Nemotron-3-Embed-8B-BF16

NVIDIA · Nemotron-3-Embed-8B-BF16

**Nemotron-3-Embed-8B-BF16** is a versatile text embedding model trained by NVIDIA and optimized for retrieval and semantic similarity tasks. It provides strong multilingual and cross-lingual retrieval capabilities and is designed to serve as a foundational component in text-based Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems. This model was evaluated across 34 languages: English, Arabic, Assamese, Bengali, Bulgarian, Chinese, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Hindi, Hinglish, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Marathi, Nepali, Norwegian, Persian, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Ukrainian, Urdu, Vietnamese. The model generates dense vector embeddings from multilingual text inputs, enabling retrieval, semantic search, and (agentic) RAG workflows. As a core component of text retrieval systems, an embedding model transforms text, such as questions or passages, into dense vector representations. These models are typically transformer encoders that process input tokens and produce embeddings suitable for efficient similarity matching. **Nemotron-3-Embed-8B-BF16** achieves state-of-the-art performance on the multilingual RTEB leaderboard) as of July 16, 2026.

Frequently asked questions

Do open weights permit free commercial use?

Not necessarily. Check the version license, commercial conditions and usage policies. Self-hosting incurs compute and maintenance costs.

Are these real-time billing prices?

These are timestamped source snapshots, not live billing prices. Check the channel for current versions, regions, discounts and billing methods.
