Claims
- Open models like NVIDIA Nemotron provide enterprises full ownership and control that closed models cannot offer.
- Harvey post-trained Nemotron 3 Ultra on its legal benchmark and achieved frontier-class accuracy at at least 10x lower cost per run than leading closed models.
- Arcee AI achieved inference costs of approximately 90 cents per million output tokens on Nemotron using Blackwell, roughly 20x cheaper than comparable closed frontier models.
- The most effective agentic AI applications combine open and closed models, with each handling the tasks it does best.
- Competitive AI advantage increasingly comes from how organizations build with available models rather than which model they choose.
Key quotes
Increasingly, competitive AI advantage comes from how organizations build with available models, more than which one they choose.
Open models give enterprises something closed models cannot: full control to customize, inspect and improve AI against business needs.
The shift from AI adoption to AI ownership is underway.
