A Sovereign, Indic-First, Reasoning Model

Gnani-Evon-v3.3-30B-A3B is a long-context hybrid Mamba-Transformer mixture-of-experts model for reasoning, instruction following, and tool use in English and eight Indian languages.

Key points

  • Starting from NVIDIA's Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B checkpoint, it retains the 52-layer backbone and changes the vocabulary, training data, and post-training objectives.
  • Continual pretraining then adds broad English-Indic data, high-quality annealing, and direct training at a 131,072-token sequence length.
  • Reinforcement learning across four verifiable task environments improves mathematics, graduate-level science, and instruction following, but degrades Indic extractive question answering because the rewards do not require an answer in the requested language.
  • Relative to the architecture-identical starting checkpoint, the released model gains 5.2 points on an Indic aggregate while giving up 1.7 points of English retention.
