The Open Evaluation Standard: Benchmarking NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Nano with NeMo Evaluator

Assessing genuine improvements in AI models has become difficult due to variations in evaluation conditions, making it hard to verify reported advances. To address this, NVIDIA has published a transparent and reproducible evaluation recipe for its Nemotron 3 Nano model using the NeMo Evaluator. This open evaluation approach allows for the independent verification of benchmark results by providing open-source tooling, configurations, and logs. The workflow is designed to be a consistent, scalable, and auditable standard for evaluating open models.
