CC nemotron-ultra

Reference desk for NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Ultra (550B-A55B) — architecture, NVFP4 pretraining, SFT, MOPD (multi-teacher on-policy distillation), MTP boosting, quantization, inference. Use when the user asks facts about Ultra rather than building a pipeline.

The skillemall take

Reference desk for NVIDIA's Nemotron 3 Ultra (550B): covers NVFP4 pretraining, SFT, MOPD multi-teacher distillation, MTP boosting, quantization. Use it to answer questions about the model's internals, not to build production pipelines.

Grade C with quality 80 but process score 63 signals gaps in how the material is organized. Twenty files, zero scripts—it's a lookup tool, not a runnable toolkit. No critical findings; fifteen medium and low-level issues scattered through. Safety at 85, so the facts about the model check out. Install if you regularly dig into Nemotron docs; if you need working code, keep looking.

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 63/100

    • 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
    • 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
    • 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. 50 steps
    • 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
    • 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1773 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.
