On October 21, 2026, NVIDIA expanded the Nemotron Retriever series, releasing multiple open models covering embedding, reranking, and document parsing. The models introduced include Nemotron 3.5 Embed (8B BF16, 1B BF16, 1B NVFP4), Nemotron 3.5 Rerank 8B BF16, and Nemotron 3.5 Parse with 631 million parameters, aimed at multimodal retrieval and document processing for enterprise agent workflows. NVIDIA says that adding Rerank to the agent retrieval pipeline reduces the token cost per query by about 14% (with the 8B embedding model) and 13% (with the 1B model), respectively, while also improving retrieval accuracy. Parse scores 75.20 on ParseBench and processes 10.5 pages per second on a single H100. Open weights, data, and training recipes have been released on Hugging Face and can be deployed via NVIDIA NIM and through Baseten, DeepInfra, and FriendliAI.
