Nemotron 3.5 Parse

NVIDIA model released on October 17, 2026 to turn page images into structured text, semantic classes, boxes and reading order. It combines C-RADIOv4-SO400M with a ten-layer mBART decoder and 630,800,496 unique parameters. It accepts an RGB image and a task prompt; PDFs must be converted into page images. It does not generate images or replace a general-purpose assistant.

BEST SUITED FOR

Document, table and chart extraction and data preparation for search and RAG. The reference recommends images up to 1,664 × 2,048 pixels. Coordinates are content-normalized and must be scaled to the evaluated image. The helpers preserve reading order and merged cells when exporting HTML; a flat Markdown table does not retain all spans.

WORTH MONITORING

The configuration declares 16,384 positions shared by the visual prefix and text, not 16,384 available conversation tokens. generation_config sets 9,000 new tokens; examples and OCR evaluations use 8,744. These are not two different universal limits. The reference code requires trust_remote_code: review it and pin a revision before execution. Check omissions, figures, privacy and reading errors with your own documents.

Downloadable weights under OpenMDW 1.1, with commercial and non-commercial use subject to its terms. The tokenizer has MIT attribution and dependencies retain their licenses. We have not verified a commercial API or token pricing: numeric costs remain empty. Self-hosted inference requires a budget for hardware, memory, operations and security; availability for download does not imply free inference.

i Prices change and may depend on level, region or context length. Check the source before making a decision.

05 / EVALUATIONS

How to read the results

“

Results published by NVIDIA, not reproduced by Inferama. ParseBench covers 2,078 pages: the highlighted score uses triple pass with region union, not plain triple pass. IndicVisionBench OCR uses 876 pages and ten languages. MOSCAR uses 8,111 synthetic pages and 163 language/script entries, corresponding to 162 language codes. Its character bag F1 ignores order and does not guarantee accuracy on real scans, handwriting or degraded images.

Inferama only highlights a “best result” when the metric, test set, configuration, and date allow for an equivalent comparison. The supplier's figures are presented as claims from its own source.
