# NVIDIA-Nemotron-Nano-9B-v2

> Use NeMo AutoModel to fine-tune NVIDIA-Nemotron-Nano-9B-v2 for LLM workflows with checked-in text generation recipes and documented distributed settings.

[NVIDIA-Nemotron-Nano-9B-v2](https://huggingface.co/nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-Nano-9B-v2) has a checked-in NeMo AutoModel recipe for text generation.
The Hugging Face configuration declares the `NemotronHForCausalLM` architecture.

## Fine-Tune NVIDIA-Nemotron-Nano-9B-v2

Follow the [installation instructions](/get-started/installation), then run the recipe from the repository root:

```bash
automodel examples/llm_finetune/nemotron/nemotron_nano_9b_squad.yaml --nproc-per-node 8
```
