NVIDIA NeMo - AI Training Tools Tool

Overview

NVIDIA NeMo is an open-source framework for building, training, and deploying large language, multimodal, and speech AI models. Designed for scalability on NVIDIA GPUs, NeMo provides high-level building blocks (neural modules), prebuilt architectures, and end-to-end training recipes that span automatic speech recognition (ASR), text-to-speech (TTS), speaker recognition, natural language processing, and large language model (LLM) training. The project emphasizes performance optimizations for mixed precision, model parallelism, and efficient inference pipelines, enabling teams to move from research prototypes to production workloads. The repository hosts a model zoo, ready-to-run examples, and export utilities for deployment (ONNX, TensorRT, Triton). NeMo integrates with NVIDIA’s Megatron-LM for training very large transformer models and includes utilities for distributed data, tensor, and pipeline parallelism. According to the GitHub repository, the project supplies reproducible training recipes, data connectors, and pre-trained checkpoints so practitioners can fine-tune or extend state-of-the-art models for domain-specific tasks.

Installation
