Nvidia's Nemotron 3 foundation model has been successfully fine-tuned to achieve gold-medal level performance in both the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI) and the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). The process involved supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and reinforcement learning (RL) on domain-specific data, along with an iterative generate-evaluate-refine inference loop. Different model sizes, such as Nemotron-3-Nano-CC and Nemotron-3-Ultra-CC, were adapted, demonstrating that specialization can yield high performance without needing entirely new foundation models.
