CB nemotron-super35

Reference desk for NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Super (120B-A12B), covering vision-language architecture, MTP, distillation pretraining from Ultra 3 Base, Indic CPT, SFT, RLVR, specialist teachers, two-phase MOPD, MTP boosting, NVFP4 quantization, and inference. Use when the user asks facts about Super 3.5 rather than building a pipeline.

How to improve

    For the model run — optional
    • Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
    • A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

    Process rating: all ten parameters 68/100

    • 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
    • 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
    • 30Running it twice. 1 mutating operations with no state check
    • 40Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
    • 60Failures and branches. 2 branches
    • 70When it triggers. States when to use, but not when not to
    • 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
    • 100Steps. 58 steps
    • 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
    • 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 2347 tokens

    Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
