Nemotron 3.5 Transcribe is an open-weight offline speech and audio model from NVIDIA, built on the Nemotron 3.5 Lightning 30B-A3B base. It uses a hybrid mixture-of-experts architecture with roughly 30B total parameters and about 4.3B active per token, including the audio encoder. It supports a 65,536-token context and recordings up to one hour.
A single model handles several tasks selected through text instructions: transcription in a chosen style, word timestamps, speaker diarization, language identification, code-switching, speech translation and audio question answering. The model card lists 40 languages, including most EU languages (e.g. Czech, German, French, Italian, Polish, Maltese, Irish-excluded) as well as Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Arabic and Chinese. Training data includes NVIDIA's Granary-v2 dataset.
Weights are published on Hugging Face in BF16, FP8 and NVFP4 variants, under the OpenMDW-1.1 license. NVIDIA provides NeMo Speech for fine-tuning and serving, SGLang-Omni serving instructions, a technical report and a live Hugging Face demo. It is designed for offline (non-streaming) use and needs GPU hardware sized for a ~30B-parameter model.
