Our latest finding: scaling self-verification can make open-weight models significantly more capable at a fraction of the cost. With DeepSeek V4 Flash, sampling just 5 candidate solutions and using the same model to rank them with LLM-as-a-Verifier improves Terminal-Bench 2.1

How can we extract richer signals from AI Feedback? Introducing LLM-as-a-Verifier✨— a simple verification scaling framework that achieves SOTA on agentic benchmarks 🚀 The key idea: - Use fine-grained scoring granularity (e.g., 1-20 instead of the standard 1-5 scale) - Take

Today, we’re launching Alpamayo 2 Super, our frontier open reasoning model for autonomous vehicles. Beyond seeing, Alpamayo understands and reasons through the complex world - thinks before it acts. It’s a powerful backbone for robotaxis, trucks, shuttles, delivery vans,

A thoughtful letter highlighting the critical importance of open frontier models — a must-read for researchers, developers, and anyone shaping the future of AI. We built the @nvidia #Alpamayo open platform (nvidia.com/en-us/solution…) around the same philosophy: sharing

For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @nvidia signed on why open models matter. AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country. Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.
