NVIDIA Open Season Part 1: Build With AI You Control (Nemotron)
Nemotron is NVIDIA’s family of open-weight models. It comes in different sizes, from lighter models suited to efficient workloads to larger models for more demanding tasks, so teams can choose what fits their product.
Open-weight models give you more control over the models you build on. You can download them, fine-tune them on your own data, and choose where they run.
Open-weight models are becoming more capable, and that’s changing what small teams can build.
About the event
Building with Nemotron is a presentation-led session. It’s pitched at technically inclined founders and operators, so it’s accessible but still substantive. You don’t need an engineering background to get real value from it.
An NVIDIA speaker will give an overview of the Nemotron family, explaining what the models are for, how they compare, and what it takes for a startup to deploy one. The session finishes with open Q&A.
This is the first half of Open Season, CDH’s afternoon and evening on the future of open-weight AI, in partnership with NVIDIA.
Stay on for part 2, Building in the Open, an evening founder panel, or come to this session only.
How the day will run:
Session 1: The Nemotron family: An NVIDIA speaker walks through Nemotron Nano, Super and Ultra, explaining what each is built for, how they compare, and why the startup-friendly tier matters for early teams.
Session 2: Putting it to work: This part covers the real choices behind building on Nemotron, including fine-tuning, running costs and deployment. It’s explained in plain terms and grounded in startup use cases.
Ask NVIDIA: Bring your questions on Nemotron, tooling and where to start, so you leave knowing your next step.
Drinks: Stay on for drinks and networking.
The session will be led by an NVIDIA speaker who works on the Nemotron model family. Stay tuned for the announcement!
