NVIDIA and Scale AI launch Nemotron 3.5 Super VL
Specialisation, not scale, is the pitch: NVIDIA supplies open post-training tooling while Scale AI contributes the data and evaluation layer, so the joint value is a pipeline for tailoring Nemotron 3.5 Super VL to vertical workloads. Enterprises weighing specialised fine-tunes against frontier general models, and teams already in the NVIDIA ecosystem, are the natural audience. Availability details and pricing were not in the announcement.
Scale AI announced a collaboration with NVIDIA on 2 Feb 2026 (per the launch post) around Nemotron 3.5 Super VL. The partnership combines NVIDIA's open post-training tools with Scale AI's data, evaluation and applications expertise. The stated goal is converting general-purpose models into cost-effective specialists for enterprise use. The announcement frames this as part of a shift toward a multi-model world where enterprises run task-specific models rather than one general model.
A great pianist can play almost anything, but mastering one piece is what makes a performance exceptional. The same goes for AI.
With today's launch of Nemotron 3.5 Super VL, we’re collaborating with @NVIDIAAI to combine their open post-training tools with Scale’s data, evaluation and applications building expertise. Together, we're turning general-purpose models into powerful, cost-effective specialists for enterprises everywhere.
Welcome to the multi-model world. 🤝
