NVIDIA: Llama 3.1 Nemotron Ultra 253B v1

NVIDIA: Llama 3.1 Nemotron Ultra 253B v1 demonstrates exceptional performance across several critical areas, consistently ranking among the fastest models with an Infinityth percentile across 8 benchmarks. It offers moderate pricing, positioned at the 22nd percentile across 7 benchmarks, and exhibits outstanding reliability with a 99% success rate, indicating minimal technical failures. The model excels in preventing hallucinations, achieving 100% accuracy in tests designed to assess its ability to acknowledge uncertainty, making it the most accurate model at its price point and speed. Similarly, it achieved perfect scores in Email Classification and Ethics benchmarks, showcasing robust understanding of context and moral reasoning. Its Coding capabilities are very strong, with 93.0% accuracy (86th percentile), and it performs well in complex Reasoning tasks, scoring 80.0% (70th percentile). General Knowledge is solid at 97.5% accuracy. However, a significant weakness is observed in Instruction Following, where it scored 14.1% and 0.0% in two separate benchmarks, indicating a critical area for improvement. Derived from Meta’s Llama-3.1-405B-Instruct and optimized via Neural Architecture Search, the model is designed for advanced reasoning, human-interactive chat, RAG, and tool-calling, supporting a 128K token context length with enhanced efficiency.
