Explore the model families and sizes supported by NVIDIA NeMo Customizer.

<Note>

For information on setting up model entities for customization, see the [Manage Model Entities](/documentation/customizer-reference/manage-model-entities/overview) guide.
For fine-tuning and deployment tutorials, see the [Tutorials](/documentation/customizer-reference/tutorials) guide.

</Note>
## Before You Start

If downloading models hosted on Hugging Face, create a secret with your Hugging Face API key, then create a FileSet and Model Entity referencing the model. See [index](/documentation/customizer-reference/manage-model-entities/overview) for setup instructions.

## Tested Models

The following table lists models that NVIDIA tested and their available features. This is a list of *known-good* combinations, not a list of limits: NeMo Customizer can fine-tune additional Hugging Face checkpoints and regimes when their architectures are supported by the selected training backend. Compatibility varies by architecture and fine-tuning method—for example, Automodel LoRA does not support Conv1D-based models. Models and regimes outside this table may work but have not been formally validated; test them before relying on them in production.

For detailed technical specifications of each model such as architecture, parameters, and token limits, refer to the [model family](#model-families) pages.
