summary: Optimal running parameters for NVIDIA's Nemotron 3 Super (120B-A12B MoE),
covering inference settings for general chat vs tool calling, hardware requirements,
NoPE context extension, reasoning token handling, GGUF/NVFP4/FP8 formats, and llama.cpp

Nemotron 3 uses ChatML-style format:

- Use `--special` to see tokens, `--verbose-prompt` to see the prepended ``.
+## Deployment Issues: EOS Token Leak
+
+**Problem:** NVIDIA Nemotron 3 models (Super 120B, Nano 30B) use ChatML-style chat templates. The EOS token `` can leak into generated content when running with the `--special` flag in llama.cpp. This causes parse failures on subsequent turns, e.g.:
+
+```
+Error: Failed to parse input at pos 285:
+
+```
+
+The `--special` flag is required for Nemotron reasoning tokens, so it cannot be removed.
+
+**Fix:** Add `--stop ""` to the `llama-server` command in the llama-swap config. This tells the server to treat `` as a stop sequence, preventing it from appearing in generated output.
+
+**Applies to:**
+- `nemotron-3-super-120b` — the 120B-A12B flagship model
+- `nemotron-3-nano-30b` — the 30B-A3B compact model
+
+**Config file:** `configs/pfi-ana/docker/conf/llama-swap/config.yaml`
+
+**Example fix in llama-server command:**
+```bash
+./llama.cpp/llama-server \
+ --model unsloth/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Super-120B-A12B-GGUF/UD-Q4_K_XL/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Super-120B-A12B-UD-Q4_K_XL-00001-of-00003.gguf \
