## Tracked benchmark scores

| Benchmark | Score | Source | What it measures |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Terminal-Bench 2.1 | 50.98% | Lab | Can the AI work in a command-line terminal — running commands and finishing technical setup tasks the way a developer would? Higher is better. |
| MCP Atlas | 52.2% | Lab | Can the AI chain together many tools and steps to complete one bigger task, rather than doing just a single thing? Higher is better. |
| BrowseComp | 66.75% | Lab | Can the AI browse the web and track down hard-to-find answers? Higher is better. |
| GPQA Diamond | 86.43% | Lab | Graduate-level science questions in biology, physics, and chemistry — hard enough that subject-matter PhDs score around 65%. Higher is better. |

## About Nemotron 3.5 Bolt 74B

Nemotron 3.5 Bolt 74B, released October 15, 2026, brought NVIDIA's Super VL architecture to local agents through model compression and quantization. The released 24GB checkpoint used IQ2 weights, with 74 billion total parameters and 9 billion active, while retaining text, image and video inputs. Its benchmark results belong to that quantized checkpoint; the separate BF16 model scored differently.

At launch NVIDIA reported 86.43% on GPQA Diamond, 50.98% on Terminal-Bench 2.1, 66.75% on BrowseComp and 52.20% on MCP Atlas. The MCP Atlas evaluation used the 500 public tasks with reasoning enabled, and BrowseComp used Exa web search. These were NVIDIA-reported evaluations, rather than independent leaderboard measurements.
