About
NVIDIA Nemotron-Labs-Diffusion is a family of diffusion language models (DLMs) released by NVIDIA Research in May 2026. Unlike traditional autoregressive models, they generate text by producing multiple tokens in parallel and iteratively refining them, enabling up to 6× throughput over comparable AR models. Available in 3B, 8B, and 14B sizes with base and instruct variants; an 8B VLM is also included.
Current Variants
Use-when guidance is based on each model's tracked capabilities, context window, release date, and replacement status.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is Nemotron-Labs-Diffusion used for?
- Nemotron-Labs-Diffusion is used for coding. The family description and listed model capabilities point to those workloads as the best fit.
- How does Nemotron-Labs-Diffusion compare to NVIDIA Nemotron Nano 12B v2 VL?
- Nemotron-Labs-Diffusion by NVIDIA AI is strongest where you need coding, while NVIDIA Nemotron Nano 12B v2 VL by NVIDIA AI is the closest related family to check for structured outputs. Nemotron-Labs-Diffusion has 3 listed variants and reaches up to 131k context, so compare the specs and pricing tables before choosing a production model.
- Which Nemotron-Labs-Diffusion model should I use?
- If price is the main constraint, use the pricing table first because Nemotron-Labs-Diffusion does not have complete provider pricing in the local data. For the most capable/latest local choice, evaluate Nemotron-Labs-Diffusion 3B with 131k context.
