Libraries

How to use nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B-BF16 with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B-BF16", trust_remote_code=True)
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B-BF16", trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B-BF16", trust_remote_code=True, device_map="auto")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

I want to know how the model use tools while thinking

@YF-T , we provide a reference implementation for stateful Python code execution in Nemo-Skills. If you want to run it, please follow the docs to set up Nemo-Skills and then run the following command

from nemo_skills.pipeline.cli import wrap_arguments, eval

eval(
    ctx=wrap_arguments(
        "++inference.tokens_to_generate=120000 "
        "++inference.temperature=1.0 "
        "++inference.top_p=1.0 "
        "++tool_modules=[nemo_skills.mcp.servers.python_tool::PythonTool] "
    ),
    cluster='local',  # or slurm
    model='nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B-BF16',
    server_type='vllm',
    server_gpus=1,
    benchmarks="aime25",
    server_args=f"--enable-auto-tool-choice --enable-prefix-caching --tool-call-parser qwen3_coder --mamba_ssm_cache_dtype float32",
    output_dir='/workspace/test-nano-v3-single',
    with_sandbox=True,
)

Important arguments here are with_sandbox=True (launches our code execution sandbox) and ++tool_modules=[nemo_skills.mcp.servers.python_tool::PythonTool]which configures the Python tool and connects it through mcp. If you have an existing Python code execution mcp server (that supports stateful execution, like the built-in tool for gpt-oss models), then you most likely can use it directly. You can also update any other general arguments like use more GPUs or set multiple repeats with benchmarks="aime25:16 e.g.

We will also update the official evaluation reproduction instructions in Nemo-Evaluator shortly with an example for how to run AIME25 with tools.
