Model Overview

Description:

Llama-3.3-Nemotron-Super-49B-GenRM-Multilingual is a generative reward model that leverages Llama-3.3-Nemotron-Super-49B-v1 as the foundation and is fine-tuned using Reinforcement Learning to predict the quality of LLM generated responses.

Llama-3.3-Nemotron-Super-49B-GenRM-Multilingual can be used to judge the quality of one response, or the ranking between two responses given a multilingual conversation history. It will first generate reasoning traces then output an integer score. A higher score means the response is of higher quality.

RM-Bench LeaderBoard

As of 15 May 2025, our reward models trained with HelpSteer3-Preference are the top performing Bradley-Terry reward models on RM-Bench, an improved variant of RewardBench for evaluating Reward Models in Chat, Math, Code and Safety. Our GenRMs also outperform the corresponding Bradley-Terry reward models.

Note that Skywork-Reward-Llama-3.1-8B was the best performing reward model reported on RM-Bench and we evaluated all other models.

JudgeBench LeaderBoard

As of 15 May 2025, our reward models trained with HelpSteer3-Preference are the top performing Bradley-Terry reward models on JudgeBench, a popular benchmark for evaluating LLM-as-a-judge applications relating to General Knowledge, Logical Reasoning, Math and Coding. Our GenRMs also outperform the corresponding Bradley-Terry reward models.

Note that Skywork-Reward-Gemma-2-27B was the best performing reward model reported on JudgeBench and we evaluated all other numbers.

Model Architecture:

Architecture Type: Transformer Network Architecture: Llama-3.3-Nemotron-Super-49B-v1

We developed this model using Llama-3.3-Nemotron-Super-49B-v1 as its foundation. This model contains 49 billion parameters.

Input:

Input Type(s): Text Input Format: String Input Parameters: One Dimensional (1D) Other Properties Related to Input: Max of 128k tokens

Output:

Output Type(s): Text Output Format: String Output Parameters: One-Dimensional (1D) Other Properties Related to Output: The output contains a reasoning trace and a final score.

Our AI models are designed and/or optimized to run on NVIDIA GPU-accelerated systems. By leveraging NVIDIA’s hardware (e.g. GPU cores) and software frameworks (e.g., CUDA libraries), the model achieves faster training and inference times compared to CPU-only solutions.

Software Integration:

Runtime Engine(s):

• vLLM 0.8.3

Supported Hardware Microarchitecture Compatibility:

• NVIDIA Ampere
• NVIDIA Hopper

Supported Operating System(s): Linux

Quick Start

We recommend serving the model with vLLM. You can use the model with 2 or more 80GB GPUs (NVIDIA Ampere or newer) with at least 100GB of free disk space to accommodate the download.

pip install vllm==0.8.3

python3 -m vllm.entrypoints.openai.api_server \
  --model "nvidia/Llama-3_3-Nemotron-Super-49B-GenRM-Multilingual" \
  --trust-remote-code \
  --seed=1 \
  --host="0.0.0.0" \
  --port=5000 \
  --served-model-name "nvidia/Llama-3_3-Nemotron-Super-49B-GenRM-Multilingual" \
  --tensor-parallel-size=8 \
  --max-model-len=40000 \
  --gpu-memory-utilization 0.95 \
  --enforce-eager

Now you can query the model, here is an example:

from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(base_url="http://127.0.0.1:5000/v1", api_key="dummy")

# when judging one response
msg = [
  {"role": "user", "content": "What is 1+1?"}, 
  {"role": "assistant", "content": "1+1=2"}, 
  {"role": "user", "content": "What about 1+2?"},
  {"role": "response_1", "content": "1+2=4"}
]

completion = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="nvidia/Llama-3_3-Nemotron-Super-49B-GenRM-Multilingual",
    messages=msg,
    temperature=0.0,
    top_p=1.0,
    max_tokens=32768,
    stream=False
)
output = completion.choices[0].message.content
print(output.split("</think>")[-1].strip())
"""
[The Begin of Analysis on Response 1]
Response 1 states "1+2=4", which is incorrect because the correct result of 1+2 is 3. While the response is clear and directly addresses the query, its **Correctness/Completeness** is severely flawed due to the error. The mistake makes the response **Not Helpful** as it fails to provide the accurate information requested. Other factors like **Coherence** and **Relevance** are satisfactory, but the critical inaccuracy outweighs these.
[The End of Analysis on Response 1]

[The Begin of Individual Scores]
\boxed{1}
[The End of Individual Scores]
"""
# when judging two responses
msg = [
  {"role": "user", "content": "What is 1+1?"}, 
  {"role": "assistant", "content": "1+1=2"}, 
  {"role": "user", "content": "What about 1+2?"},
  {"role": "response_1", "content": "1+2=4"},

]

completion = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="nvidia/Llama-3_3-Nemotron-Super-49B-GenRM-Multilingual",
    messages=msg,
    temperature=0.0,
    top_p=1.0,
    max_tokens=32768,
    stream=False
)
output = completion.choices[0].message.content
print(output.split("</think>")[-1].strip())
"""
[The Begin of Analysis on Response 1]
Response 1 states "1+2=4", which is mathematically incorrect. The correct answer is 3. While the response is clear and concise, its incorrectness makes it completely unhelpful. It fails in Correctness/Completeness, Instruction following, and Relevance due to the error. There is no redeeming value as it provides false information.
[The End of Analysis on Response 1]

[The Begin of Analysis on Response 2]
Response 2 states "1+2=3", which is accurate and directly addresses the user's query. It is clear, concise, and fully aligned with the request. There is no unnecessary information, and it demonstrates perfect correctness without hallucination. This response meets all criteria for helpfulness.
[The End of Analysis on Response 2]

[The Begin of Individual Scores]
\boxed{1, 5}
[The End of Individual Scores]

[The Begin of Ranking Score]
\boxed{5}
[The End of Ranking Score]
"""

Note that the conversation history should be presented in "user" and "assistant" roles, where the last turn is user turn. The responses to be judged should be in "response_1" (and "response_2") roles.

Interpretation of Scores

When judging one response, the model will generate a helpfulness score from 1 to 5, where higher is better.

When judging two responses, the model will generate an individual helpfulness score for each response, then a ranking score. The ranking score is a number between 1 and 6, where:

1 = Response 1 is much better than Response 2

2 = Response 1 is better than Response 2

3 = Response 1 is slightly better than Response 2

4 = Response 2 is slightly better than Response 1

5 = Response 2 is better than Response 1

6 = Response 2 is much better than Response 1
