Hugging Face announced the fine-tuning of Nemotron to achieve gold-level results in both the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI) and the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). The Nemotron-3-Ultra-CC model scored 535.4/600 in IOI 2026 and 30/42 in IMO 2026, demonstrating its adaptability and strength as a foundation model.
What happened
Hugging Face has announced the successful fine-tuning of Nemotron to achieve gold-level results in both the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI) and the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). The Nemotron-3-Ultra-CC model scored 535.4/600 in IOI 2026, surpassing the gold threshold of 361.12 and the top human score of 498.27. For IMO 2026, Nemotron achieved a score of 30/42, also above the official gold threshold of 29. The results were obtained through supervised fine-tuning (SFT), reinforcement learning (RL), and a generate-verify-refine system. The training and inference methods are documented and available on Hugging Face, providing a reusable recipe for adapting Nemotron to demanding domains.
