We introduce Nemotron 3 Nano Omni, the latest model in the Nemotron multimodal series and the first to natively support audio inputs alongside text, images, and video. Nemotron 3 Nano Omni delivers consistent accuracy improvements over its predecessor, Nemotron Nano V2 VL, across all modalities, enabled by advances in architecture, training data and recipes. In particular, Nemotron 3 delivers leading results in real-world document understanding, long audio-video comprehension, and agentic computer use. Built on the highly efficient Nemotron 3 Nano 30B-A3B backbone, Nemotron 3 Nano Omni further incorporates innovative multimodal token-reduction techniques to deliver substantially lower inference latency and higher throughput than other models of similar size. We are releasing model checkpoints in BF16, FP8, and FP4 formats, along with portions of the training data and codebase to facilitate further research and development.

Message Passing Graph Neural Networks (MP-GNNs) have garnered attention for addressing various industry challenges, such as user recommendation and fraud detection. However, they face two major hurdles: (1) heavy reliance on local context, often lacking information about the global context or graph-level features, and (2) assumption of strong homophily among connected nodes, struggling with noisy local neighborhoods. To tackle these, we introduce $P^2$GNN, a plug-and-play technique leveraging prototypes to optimize message passing, enhancing the performance of the base GNN model. Our approach views the prototypes in two ways: (1) as universally accessible neighbors for all nodes, enriching global context, and (2) aligning messages to clustered prototypes, offering a denoising effect. We demonstrate the extensibility of our proposed method to all message-passing GNNs and conduct extensive experiments across 18 datasets, including proprietary e-commerce datasets and open-source datasets, on node recommendation and node classification tasks. Results show that $P^2$GNN outperforms production models in e-commerce and achieves the top average rank on open-source datasets, establishing it as a leading approach. Qualitative analysis supports the value of global context and noise mitigation in the local neighborhood in enhancing performance.
