RT by @NVIDIAAI: Motif 3 is officially here. Today, we’re releasing Motif 3 Base and Motif 3. Motif…
TL;DR - Motif Technologies (amplified by NVIDIA AI) released Motif 3, a new open-weight LLM family comprising a pretrained base model and a post-trained variant, positioning itself as a Korean entrant into the frontier LLM race. It matters as another sovereign-AI-backed foundation model shipping with full weights, a technical report, and a quantized deployment path.
- Two checkpoints released: Motif 3 Base (pretrained foundation model) and Motif 3 (post-trained on top of Base using NVIDIA NeMo-RL).
- Trained on NVIDIA B200 GPUs with support from Korea's Ministry of Science — a state-backed sovereign LLM effort.
- An NVFP4 (4-bit floating point) variant was produced in collaboration with NVIDIA, targeting efficient Blackwell-era inference.
- All weights are distributed via Hugging Face, accompanied by a technical report and blog post; the announcement cites no benchmark numbers, so capability claims are unverified here.
