Many features are missing or should be expected to change. NeMo Studio is the web app for AI development with NVIDIA NeMo Platform. It provides a workspace-oriented UI for managing local platform resources, reviewing agents, running agent optimization workflows, monitoring agent telemetry, and working with filesets, jobs, and secrets. The pages visible in your workspace depend on the installed plugins, enabled services, feature flags, and NeMo Platform version. A page documented here might be hidden in your deployment. Preview pages identify the feature flag that enables them. --- ## Getting Started NeMo Studio is included with the platform. Follow the [Setup guide](/documentation/get-started) to start NeMo Platform, then access Studio at `/studio` on your running server. ## Features ### Current Workspace Navigation The current sidebar groups related pages under expandable parents. Selecting a parent that has its own landing page opens that page; use its chevron to expand the child entries. | Sidebar group | Current entry point | Purpose and availability | | ----------------- | ---------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Observability** | **Insights** | Review optimization insights generated from observed agent sessions. Shown when optimization is enabled; see [NeMo Studio Insights](/documentation/studio/insights). | | **Observability** | **Traces** | Inspect ingested traces, spans, and session details; see [NeMo Studio Traces](/documentation/studio/traces). | | **Components** | **Agents** | Opens the agent list. Select an agent to access Deployments, Logs, Chat, Evaluations, and Details. | | **Components** | **Models** | Opens the base-model list directly. Expand **Models** for **Fine-tune**, **Model Evaluations**, **Playground**, and **Virtual Models**, when those capabilities are enabled. **Fine-tune** opens the Custom Models list; see [NeMo Studio Custom Models](/documentation/studio/customization). **Model Evaluations** opens evaluation job results; see [NeMo Studio Model Evaluations](/documentation/studio/model-evaluations). | | **Evaluations** | **Experiments** | Group evaluations for comparison, drill into results, and compare runs side by side; see [NeMo Studio Experiments](/documentation/studio/experiments). | | **Data** | **Datasets > Data Designer** | Build and monitor synthetic-data jobs. Other installed data plugins can appear below **Datasets**. | | **Governance** | **Guardrails** | Manage guardrail configurations. Disabled by default; see [Studio Guardrail Configs](/documentation/studio/guardrail-configs). | | **Governance** | **Iron Swarm** | Plugin-provided agent hardening UI. Appears only when the Iron Swarm plugin is installed; see [Studio Plugin UIs](/documentation/studio/plugins). | | **System** | **Filesets** | Organize and manage files used by agents and jobs. | | **System** | **Jobs** | Monitor jobs across enabled platform capabilities. | Additional entries, including Dashboard, Safe Synthesizer, Anonymizer, deployments, and workspace settings, appear when their corresponding capability or feature flag is enabled. Because plugins contribute navigation at runtime, an installed plugin can also add pages to an existing group or add a new group. ### Agents Use the Studio Agents area to review Platform-managed agents, including the current Fabric-first `nemo-agents-spec-v1` experience, inspect agent details, deploy agents, open a chat session against a running deployment, and clean up deployments that are no longer needed. For the full workflow, see [Studio Agents](/documentation/studio/agents). ### Insights Use **Observability > Insights** to review optimization insights the analyst agent generates from observed agent sessions and traces, and drill into an insight's linked experiments and source traces. For a resolved or deleted insight, **Run experiment** shows the CLI command to start experiments for it. For the full workflow, see [Studio Insights](/documentation/studio/insights). ### Traces Use **Observability > Traces** to inspect ingested telemetry in the Traces and Spans tables, and drill into a session's trace and span detail, with specialized views for LLM, tool, agent, chain, embedding, reranker, retriever, guardrail, and evaluator spans. For the full workflow, see [Studio Traces](/documentation/studio/traces). ### Monitor Use **Agents > Monitor** to inspect agent telemetry stored by the platform, including recent inference logs and token usage summaries. For the full workflow, see [Studio Monitor](/documentation/studio/monitor). ### Guardrails When the preview feature is enabled, use **Governance > Guardrails** to view NeMo Guardrails configurations for the current workspace. The list shows each config's name, attached task model count, and rail count. Select a row to open the detail page, which displays the full configuration payload as formatted JSON. Guardrail configurations are created through the `nemo guardrail` CLI or Guardrails API. For the full workflow, see [Studio Guardrail Configs](/documentation/studio/guardrail-configs). ### Virtual Models When the Guardrails preview feature is enabled, use **Models > Virtual Models** to inspect inference routes managed by the Inference Gateway. The list shows all user-created virtual models in the workspace — auto-provisioned passthrough routes are hidden. Select a row to open the details panel, which shows the default backend model when configured, and the ordered request, response, and post-response middleware pipelines attached to the route. Virtual models are created through the `nemo inference virtual-models` CLI or the Inference Gateway API. For the full workflow, see [Studio Virtual Models](/documentation/studio/virtual-models). ### Models Select **Models** to browse base-model entities available in the current workspace. There is no separate **Base Models** child entry in the sidebar: **Models** is both the expandable parent and the link to the base-model list. Base models include models registered in the workspace and default platform models. The Base Models page supports searching by model name, filtering by creation or update date, sorting alphabetically or by creation time, and showing only customizable models. Select a model card to open the model details side panel. The model details side panel shows model metadata, parameters, and available actions. From the side panel you can open the chat playground for chat-capable models or navigate to model evaluation results. ### Custom Models Select **Models > Fine-tune** to open the Custom Models list, start a fine-tuning job against an eligible base model, and track job progress. Enabled by default; see [NeMo Studio Custom Models](/documentation/studio/customization). ### Workspaces Keep models and data organized in dedicated workspaces. ### Filesets Use **Filesets** to organize files by **purpose**, which determines which metadata fields are available. Purpose is chosen at creation time and can't be changed afterward. | Purpose | Use for | | ------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Generic | Default. Files that don't fit the Dataset or Model categories. Doesn't add purpose-specific metadata fields. | | Dataset | Training and evaluation data. Enables dataset-specific metadata, including schema information. Use built-in tools to transform data schemas with LLM assistance or create train/test splits. | | Model | Model weights and checkpoints. Enables model-specific metadata, including tool-calling and model configuration fields. | **Supported file formats:** JSON (`.json`), JSONL (`.jsonl`), CSV (`.csv`), and Parquet (`.parquet`). PDF, image, and other binary formats are not currently supported. You can upload any file type into a fileset. However, each service supports specific input file types: | Service | Supported File Types | | ----------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------- | | [Data Designer](/documentation/design-synthetic-data) | `.json`, `.jsonl`, `.csv`, `.parquet` | ### Safe Synthesizer Use **Data > Safe Synthesizer** to create and monitor privacy-preserving synthetic tabular data jobs from NeMo Studio. The Studio page provides access to job creation, job status, details, reports, and result downloads for Safe Synthesizer workflows. For the full workflow, see [Synthesize Safe Data](/documentation/synthesize-safe-data). ### Evaluations Studio provides separate agent, model, and workspace evaluation views: | Location | What it shows | | ------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Agents > select an agent > Evaluations** | Active evaluation jobs, completed evaluations, and experiments scoped to the selected agent. | | **Models > Model Evaluations** | Model evaluation job results and per-row scores. See [Studio Model Evaluations](/documentation/studio/model-evaluations). | | **Evaluations > Experiments** | Experiments and their evaluations across the workspace, evaluation drill-down, and side-by-side run comparison. See [Studio Experiments](/documentation/studio/experiments). | Use the agent's **Evaluations** tab when reviewing how a specific agent performed. Use **Experiments** for the broader workspace history. ### Experiments Use **Evaluations > Experiments** to run an evaluation against an agent from the UI — selecting the agent and judge model, uploading a dataset and evaluation config — and to compare results across runs on the experiment leaderboard. For the full workflow, see [NeMo Studio Experiments](/documentation/studio/experiments). For concepts, the data model, and the CLI and SDK workflows, see [Experiments](/documentation/evaluate-models/experiments). ### Jobs Track and manage all platform jobs from a single view. The Jobs page aggregates jobs across enabled capabilities, such as Data Designer, so you can monitor progress, view logs, download artifacts, and cancel jobs in one place. Navigate to **Jobs** in the workspace sidebar to see all jobs in the current workspace. **Search and filter** — Find jobs by name, filter by status, or narrow results by creation or update date range. **Status tracking** — Each job displays its current status: | Status | Description | | ---------- | ------------------------------------------ | | Created | Job has been created but not yet scheduled | | Pending | Job is queued and waiting for resources | | Active | Job is currently running | | Completed | Job finished successfully | | Error | Job encountered an error | | Cancelled | Job was cancelled by a user | | Cancelling | Cancellation is in progress | | Paused | Job execution is paused | | Pausing | Job is transitioning to paused | | Resuming | Paused job is restarting | **Service routing** — Clicking a job navigates to its service-specific detail view when one exists. Jobs from services that aren't enabled fall back to the generic job detail view. **Cancelling a job** — Active or pending jobs can be cancelled from the job list or the detail page. Cancelling a job permanently stops it and cannot be undone. ### Secrets Store API keys and credentials to securely connect with external providers.
