Nemotron hit IMO 2026's gold threshold at 30/42, without a formal prover

NVIDIA's Nemotron 3 Ultra checkpoints reached IMO 2026's gold-medal threshold on natural-language proofs alone. The paper releases the data, code and a 200-problem benchmark, but the score is self-reported.

AI Models | NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Lightning

Why Nemotron 3.5 Lightning bets most agent steps don't need a big model

Nvidia's new open model runs locally with 3B active parameters and a 1M-token context, built for agents that stay running. Nvidia claims up to 4x throughput and 30% faster task completion than comparable open models.

Video generation gets 120x faster on one GPU, inside Nvidia's hybrid attention breakthrough

Nvidia Research's SANA-Video 2.0 combines linear and periodic softmax attention in a 3:1 ratio to run 120x faster than Wan 2.2 on one H100. The hybrid design recovers full-rank expressiveness while keeping inference at 13 seconds for a 720p clip. The caveats: the benchmarks stop at 720p and bundle the attention change with proprietary optimizations.

Governed agentic research

Nvidia's AI ran a hospital study on 286,000 patients, and never touched their data

Nvidia's AI Technology Center unveils NAIS, a governed agentic research system that orchestrates end-to-end biomedical workflows on protected hospital data. In a real-world hypertension GWAS deployment involving 286,422 individuals, the system produced results comparable to expert-led analyses while preserving privacy and enabling human oversight.
