NVIDIA Nemotron Developer Days Seoul 2026

Open models are essential for advancing sovereign AI at a national scale, and countries must build AI systems that are trained on their own data, reflect their languages and dialects, capture their cultural context, and align with their regulatory and societal values.

With NVIDIA Nemotron™ open models, datasets, libraries and techniques, we provide the foundational tools for building the next frontier of agentic AI and show how extreme co-design enables optimization across the full-stack from GPUs to models.

Join us at NVIDIA Nemotron Developer Days to get hands-on training and the exclusive lab notes directly from the NVIDIA Research team.

1:00 p.m.–1:30 p.m.
