Sentdex reacts to Artificial Analysis ranking NVIDIA's Nemotron 3.5 Super VL (120B total, 12B active MoE) as the top US open-weights model, scoring 26 on the Intelligence Index. That edges out Thinking Machines' Inkling Small (26), NVIDIA's Nemotron 3 Ultra (23) and Meta's Muse Glimmer (17). Sentdex's informal tests at vanilla settings show over 550 tok/sec, and they suspect it would rank higher on agentic coding. They see it as a candidate for a fast local coding agent model.

Orca Security's research team built an internal prototype, Agent Piercer, that attacks AI agents by choosing probes, writing attacks and judging whether they worked. They compared NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Super (self-hosted on 4×L40S via SageMaker) with Opus 4.8, GPT-6 Astra and Grok 4.7 as the driving model against the same live target. Nemotron matched the frontier models on vulnerability types found (four) and was the only one to complete every simple test and judge all 57 real attack conversations. The post also notes that some proprietary models declined authorized red-team tasks under default safety settings, which makes self-hosted open-weight models attractive for offensive testing.

NVIDIA describes how it specialized Nemotron 3 base models into domain experts for competitive programming (IOI) and olympiad mathematics (IMO) using a four-step recipe: strong base model, curated domain data with reasoning traces, SFT/RL post-training, and an inference loop (GenCorrect for IOI, generate-verify-refine for IMO) that searches and refines candidate answers. Nemotron-3-Nano-CC and Nemotron-3-Ultra-CC reached gold-level IOI 2026 scores (535.4/600), while SFT and RL checkpoints of Nemotron 3 Ultra combined to score 30/42 on IMO 2026, exceeding the gold threshold with no formal prover or external tools. The post releases training datasets, checkpoints, the Nemotron-IMO-Bench benchmark, and the NeMo-Skills inference pipelines on Hugging Face.

H Company's blog post announcing Holo4, a pair of open-weight agentic models (27B dense and 35B-A3B MoE, built on Qwen bases) trained to operate software through GUIs, code execution, MCP, and APIs interchangeably rather than a single interface. It reports benchmark results on OSWorld 2.0 and AutomationBench against frontier models like Claude Opus 5.5 and GPT-5.6 Sol, describes the training pipeline (an internal "Agentic Task Factory" generating ~10,000 verifiable environments/tasks plus SFT+RL), and also releases Holotron4 Nano, the same post-training recipe applied to NVIDIA's Nemotron 3 Nano Omni. Weights (BF16, FP8, NVFP4, GGUF) and full agent trajectories are published on Hugging Face.

This paper introduces a self-supervised fine-tuning procedure that trains reasoning models to predict their own confidence at intermediate points in a reasoning trajectory, using only 600 training problems and no explicit length or stopping objective. Despite training only on confidence prediction and using standard generation at inference (no early-stopping or confidence elicitation), the fine-tuned models cut generated tokens by up to 25% at matched accuracy across Gemma, Qwen, Nemotron, and GPT-OSS on math, science, and coding reasoning benchmarks. Analysis shows the models largely retain their base reasoning composition rather than suppressing specific behaviors, suggesting efficient reasoning can emerge as a byproduct of learning metacognitive confidence signals.

Nathan Lambert's write-up of remarks prepared for a Congressional briefing on open-weight AI models, arguing that Chinese labs (Qwen, GLM-5.3, Kimi K3, DeepSeek) have overtaken American open-weight efforts (Llama, gpt-oss, Nemotron) in downloads, benchmark scores (Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index), and academic/enterprise adoption. It distinguishes open-weight vs. true open-source models, quantifies the capability gap to closed frontier labs (OpenAI, Anthropic), discusses distillation's limited role in closing that gap, and flags emerging cybersecurity and policy risks around widely available open weights.

A Hugging Face blog walkthrough showing how to GRPO-fine-tune LiquidAI's LFM2.5-350M model with TRL and a LoRA adapter (targeting LFM's hybrid attention/convolution modules) using three custom reward functions — JSON/YAML format compliance, field-count matching, and JSON Schema validation — trained on ~500 samples from nvidia's Nemotron-RL-instruction_following-structured_outputs dataset for just 100 steps. On the IFStruct benchmark, the fine-tuned model's overall pass rate rises from 22.6% to 29.7% (JSON specifically from 18.0% to 31.9%), narrowing the gap to the much larger Qwen3.5-2B (33.15%). The post also covers converting the merged model to GGUF and serving/evaluating it locally via llama.cpp's OpenAI-compatible server.

Nathan Lambert's interconnects.ai essay argues open-weight AI models function less like Linux and more like installed software versions, while the true open-source analogue is full training recipes like Ai2's Olmo or EleutherAI's Pythia. It examines why Nvidia is bankrolling near-open-source efforts (e.g. Nemotron, reportedly ~$26B) to sustain demand for its chips, why companies like Databricks and 01.ai have exited model training, and predicts open models will fork toward a long-tail niche (on-prem, specialized, efficiency-focused) unless open ecosystems develop their own platform-like financial feedback loops. It also proposes that the "pretraining/post-training" lexicon may split into pretraining, reasoning training, and post-training as base-model training becomes more opaque and post-training/fine-tuning (e.g. via Tinker) dominates community interest.

A transcribed Interconnects podcast episode where Nathan Lambert and Florian Brand do their quarterly open-model roundup, covering the Kimi K3 release (its coding/agentic performance, $200/mo plan, broken API capacity), GLM-5.2's continued developer traction, Qwen's announced pivot to open-weighting its next flagship, and Xi Jinping's WAIC speech committing China to open-source AI. They dig into why Chinese labs (Kimi/Moonshot, Zhipu/GLM, DeepSeek, MiniMax, LongCat, Ling/Meituan) keep pace with the closed frontier despite less compute — capital efficiency, smuggled/domestic chips, buying external data — then survey the smaller US open ecosystem (Thinking Machines' Inkling and Tinker, Gemma, Nemotron, Poolside, Arcee, Reflection). The back half is a detailed rebuttal of Ben Thompson's Stratechery claim that distillation grows more important as RL scales, arguing SFT-stage distillation from jailbroken Claude/GPT reasoning traces matters less as RL-stage training (which is hard to distill cheaply) dominates post-training, with a side note on a Hugging Face incident where guardrails forced defenders to use a less-restricted model (GLM) to analyze an attack.

Sebastian Raschka explains how modern reasoning LLMs implement adjustable "reasoning effort" or thinking-budget controls, tracing the mechanics from DeepSeek-R1's original RLVR recipe through hybrid think/no-think switches (Qwen3) to full effort-level systems in GPT-5.6 and gpt-oss. He then does a comparative deep dive into six flagship open-weight models' documented recipes — DeepSeek V4 (separate effort specialists distilled together), Nemotron 3 Ultra (SFT + truncated-trace training + hard budgets), Kimi K2.5/K3 (Toggle alternating budgeted/unconstrained RL, multi-teacher distillation), GLM-5 (turn-level/interleaved thinking via SFT), Qwen3 (Thinking Mode Fusion), and Inkling (continuous 0-1 effort conditioning during RL) — showing the shared techniques (effort-labeled SFT data, mode-conditioned RL with variable length penalties/context windows, and robustness training for hard token cutoffs) behind these UI toggles.
