NVIDIA releases Kumo Tabular foundation model for tables
What happened
On 29 September 2026, NVIDIA released the open-source Kumo Tabular foundation model on the Hugging Face blog. Given labelled table rows, it predicts labels for new rows in a single forward pass without training, tuning or feature engineering, supporting classification and regression. It comes in three sizes from 28M to 215M parameters, was pretrained solely on synthetic tabular data and uses the commercially usable OpenMDW-1.1 licence. Reports say it ranked first on TabArena, BeyondArena, TALENT and ScoringBench.

NVIDIA released Kumo Tabular, an open-source tabular foundation model that predicts labels for new rows in a single forward pass given labelled rows, without training, tuning or feature engineering. It supports classification and regression, offers three sizes from 28M to 215M, and was pretrained solely on artificially generated tables. It uses the commercially usable OpenMDW-1.1 licence and ranks first on TabArena, BeyondArena, TALENT and ScoringBench.
