InternS1 vs Llama 3.1 Nemotron Nano 8B

Shanghai AI Lab

InternS1, released by Shanghai AI Laboratory at WAIC 2025 on July 26, 2025, is a multimodal scientific reasoning large language model designed for advanced problem-solving across mathematics, physics, chemistry, and related domains. It supports text, image, and potentially other scientific data formats as input, and demonstrated strong performance on competition-level scientific benchmarks. InternS1 targets open-source scientific research, STEM education, and applications requiring deep domain reasoning across natural science disciplines.

Llama 3.1 Nemotron Nano 8B

NVIDIA

Llama-3.1-Nemotron-Nano-8B-v1 is an 8-billion-parameter model from NVIDIA, developed as a fine-tuned variant of Meta's Llama 3.1 8B using NVIDIA's Nemotron post-training methodology, which applies reinforcement learning and process reward modeling to enhance instruction-following and reasoning capability over the base model. The Nano designation marks it as the entry-level member of the Nemotron family, optimized for efficient inference on a single GPU while delivering meaningfully improved performance on instruction alignment and agentic tasks compared to standard Llama 3.1. Released open-weight on HuggingFace, it is designed for deployment in NVIDIA-accelerated environments and supports NVIDIA NIM for enterprise inference.
