View sourceModern Greek is absent from NVIDIA's Nemotron retrieval models and from major multilingual retrieval benchmarks, despite being important for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) in legal, energy, financial, and medical applications. We present an end-to-end adaptation of the Nemotron retrieval stack for Modern Greek, including corpus mining, synthetic supervision, retrieval model training, reranker adaptation, reader fine-tuning, and a new benchmark called HERA. Our study shows that a parameter-free BM25 baseline outperforms several off-the-shelf multilingual dense retrieval models on specialist Greek corpora. After fine-tuning on 65,773 Greek retrieval pairs, a Nemotron 1B embedder improves nDCG@10 from 0.362 to 0.835 and substantially outperforms its unadapted counterpart. The learned language competence transfers to general-domain Greek, although the advantage over BM25 remains domain-dependent. We further adapt a cross-encoder reranker and demonstrate consistent improvements across specialist domains. Finally, we LoRA-tune a Nemotron 30B-A3B mixture-of-experts reader for grounded generation, increasing judged answer correctness from 29.4% to 66.9% while significantly improving faithfulness and citation quality. We also introduce HERA, the first large-scale Greek benchmark for retrieval-augmented generation, and release our adapted models and benchmark to support future research on Greek-language RAG systems.
Since Volta introduced Independent Thread Scheduling (ITS), NVIDIA GPUs have been widely assumed to handle warp divergence in a fixed manner. We test this assumption across Ampere, Hopper, and datacenter and consumer Blackwell GPUs, using pre-ITS Pascal as a baseline. Combining cycle-accurate microbenchmarks, hardware counters, and static analysis of compiler-generated SASS, we separate stable behavior from architectural change. Across all tested generations, divergent paths serialize linearly with the number of paths k, following T(k) approx sk with no super-linear reconvergence penalty. Warp execution efficiency falls as 32/k, the penalty is independent of occupancy, and predication removes the serialization cost. The same behavior appears on Pascal, showing that this programmer-visible cost model predates ITS. The compiler-emitted reconvergence machinery, however, has changed substantially. Pascal uses a per-warp SSY/SYNC instruction stack, whereas later generations use barrier-register instructions. Deferred reconvergence beyond the immediate post-dominator falls from 29 cases on Ampere to 2 on Blackwell. Blackwell also introduces a two-tier convergence-barrier classification, uniform-branch instructions, and explicit partial-mask warp synchronization, none of which appear on Ampere or Hopper. Controlled bit-flip experiments indicate that the new barrier class is a static compiler classification with no observable runtime effect in our tests. Thus, divergence retains a stable and predictable performance cost even as NVIDIA's control-flow ISA and reconvergence mechanisms continue to evolve.
View sourceAgentic reinforcement learning research is constant algorithm modification, new estimators, new pipeline stages, new rollout schemes, and in mainstream frameworks each change threads through layers of trainer, distributed backend, and rollout glue: the cost lands on the researcher at every iteration. Molt is a PyTorch-native training framework built to keep that cost small: a codebase compact and clean enough for a researcher to hold in their head, and for an AI coding assistant to read and reason about in its entirety, so the algorithm flow can be traced and changed end to end. The agent is an ordinary program, and one asynchronous loop trains multimodal and mixture-of-experts policies while never training on a token it did not generate, consistent in tokens, policy versions, and model semantics. Leanness does not cost performance: under a matched, fully asynchronous protocol, Molt is statistically comparable to a state-of-the-art Megatron-based stack. Molt is open source and provides recipes and containers at https://github.com/NVIDIA-NeMo/labs-molt.
View sourceTransformers propagate information across depth through a single additive residual stream: every sublayer reads only the most recent state. Attention residuals relax this by letting each sublayer attend, through a learned softmax. However, that read uses a single query shared across the entire width, so every feature subspace must read the depth history through one distribution. The cost of this forced compromise grows with how much the subspaces disagree about which layers to read, and disagreement grows with model width. We introduce Multi-Head Attention Residuals (MHAR): the routing query is reshaped into H per-subspace heads, each with its own softmax over the depth history. The read becomes block-diagonal, the reshape adds zero parameters and negligible compute, and H = 1 recovers attention residuals exactly. Trained from scratch on a deduplicated Nemotron-based anneal corpus that is quality-filtered and STEM- and code-heavy, MHAR improves validation loss over a standard Transformer at 100M, 350M, and 1B (-0.061, -0.149, and -0.140). It achieves the best result among four methods in every setting, with the gain increasing from 100M to the larger scales. The head count is a real design axis rather than a free knob: validation loss is U-shaped with respect to H, with a flat optimum at H = 4 or H = 8 across scales. We adopt H = 8 for large-scale models; over-splitting beyond this point (H = 16) consistently gives back part of the gain. A direct probe of the trained queries confirms that learned subspace disagreement is the underlying driver. Fused Triton routing kernels increase attention-residual training throughput from 0.2-0.5x to 0.55-0.88x of the baseline while maintaining near-baseline peak memory. An identity-preserving conversion using delta attention residuals supports 8B mid-training, yielding improvements of +3.2 on GSM8K and +3.1 on GPQA.

Traditional agent development is split across prompt templates, tool schemas, callback code, and workflow graphs. We present NVIDIA Object-Oriented Agents (NOOA), a model-agnostic Python framework for building reliable AI agents. NOOA takes a simpler approach: an agent is a Python object. Its methods are the actions the model can take, fields are its state, docstrings are its prompts, and its type annotations are contracts. A method whose code body consists of "..." is completed at runtime by an LLM-driven agent loop, while methods with normal bodies remain standard deterministic Python. This gives developers and agents the same interface, so agent behavior can be tested, traced, refactored, and improved just like other software. This paper makes three contributions. (1) We present the agent-as-a-Python-object programming model and the design principles behind it. Where Python has existing abstractions, we adopt them directly. Agent-specific capabilities--context, events, state rendering, long-term memory, and validated LLM loops--are exposed through simple Pythonic APIs, so both developers and agents share one familiar programming model. (2) We identify six model-facing ideas that NOOA is, to our knowledge, the first to combine on a single surface: typed input/output, pass-by-reference over live objects, code as action, programmable loop engineering, explicit object state, and model-callable harness APIs for context and events. We find the community already converging on several of these ideas--often as experimental or partial features--and present the comparison to encourage further adoption. (3) We demonstrate that current models use this interface effectively, both in targeted capability tests and on agentic and reasoning benchmarks such as SWE-bench Verified and Terminal-Bench 2.0 and ARC-AGI-3.
Real-time EEG classification on edge devices is bottlenecked by the floating-point arithmetic of conventional neural networks. We investigated Differentiable Logic Gate Networks (Diff-Logic) as a hardware-native alternative that compiles models into pure Boolean circuits executable via bitwise CPU operations. Through rigorous iso-parameter experiments across four EEG datasets spanning two classification tasks, binary dementia detection and 3-class emotion recognition, we compared Diff-Logic against matched-capacity Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) and Binarized Neural Network (BNN) baselines at four complexity tiers (50k-500k parameters). On dementia screening, Diff-Logic achieved 80.2% Macro F1, outperforming the MLP baseline by 6.8%. On emotion recognition, the MLP retained a moderate performance advantage but incurred a 2.3times higher latency and 14times larger model size when deployed on a power-constrained (7W) Nvidia Jetson Orin Nano CPU (Single-core). Critically, Diff-Logic inference time remained nearly constant across a 10times increase in model scale, achieving a peak speedup of 2.9times over MLPs at the largest complexity tier. Our results establish logic-based neural architectures as a practical paradigm for resource-constrained brain-computer interfaces, achieving competitive or superior performance while natively satisfying the latency and memory constraints of portable edge deployment.

Recent robot foundation models operate with single-step or short-history visuomotor context. We introduce Test-Time-Training Robot Policies (RoboTTT), a robot model and training recipe that scale visuomotor context to 8K timesteps, three orders of magnitude beyond state-of-the-art policies, without growing inference latency. At this context length, we unlock new robot capabilities: one-shot in-context imitation from human video demonstrations, on-the-fly policy improvement, robustness to perturbations, and stronger performance on multi-stage, long-horizon tasks. We also observe, for the first time, steady gains in closed-loop performance as pretraining context length scales. At its core, RoboTTT integrates Test-Time Training into robot foundation models such as Vision-Language-Action policies, yielding a sequence model whose recurrent state consists of fast weights, parameters updated by gradient descent during both training and inference, compressing histories into weight space and retrieving contextual information for long-context conditioning. To scale training context length, the recipe combines sequence action forcing with truncated backpropagation through time. On challenging real-robot manipulation tasks, RoboTTT improves overall performance by 87% over the single-step context baseline and fully completes a five-minute, ten-stage assembly task, which no baseline ever does. RoboTTT trained with 8K-timestep context outperforms the same model pretrained with 1K timesteps by 62%, suggesting context length as a new scaling axis for robot foundation models.

Generating realistic 3D human motions in real-time within interactive applications is key for animation, simulation, and humanoid robotics. While recent offline motion generation approaches offer precise control via text and kinematic constraints, they lack the inference speed required for interactive settings. Conversely, existing online methods enable real-time synthesis but often sacrifice controllability or struggle with complex text semantics and long-horizon goals due to limited context windows. In this work, we introduce ARDY, a streaming generation framework that bridges this gap by enabling high-fidelity motion generation controllable via online text prompts and flexible kinematic constraints. ARDY employs a hybrid representation that combines explicit root features with a latent body embedding, balancing precise trajectory control with efficient generative learning. We propose a two-stage autoregressive transformer denoiser that features variable history context and supports conditioning on flexible, long-horizon kinematic constraints. By training on a large-scale motion capture dataset and being directly conditioned on text labels and kinematic constraints sampled from ground truth poses, ARDY natively learns controllable generation that supports online prompting and flexible long-horizon goals. Extensive evaluations on the HumanML3D benchmark and the large-scale, high-fidelity Bones Rigplay dataset demonstrate ARDY's high motion quality and constraint adherence, validating the efficacy of our key architectural decisions. Finally, we demonstrate the method's practical versatility through an interactive demo featuring dynamic text control, diverse keyframe pose constraints, path following, and interactive locomotion control via mouse and keyboard.

Modern LLMs are increasingly deployed in long-context applications such as retrieval-augmented generation, repository-level coding, and agentic workflows whose accumulated reasoning and tool traces routinely push the input an order of magnitude past the pretraining window, making zero-shot context extension the dominant deployment path for open-weight checkpoints. Most existing zero-shot methods fix a single rescaling factor up front, so an aggressive factor sacrifices short-context fidelity while a conservative one breaks down at long contexts. We propose Jet-Long, a tuning-free zero-shot method that pairs a local RoPE-faithful window with a long-range window whose rescaling factor adapts dynamically to the current sequence length, recovering the base model exactly at short inputs while extrapolating cleanly at long ones. An inclusion-exclusion attention merge and an on-the-fly RoPE correction rotation make the bifocal construction essentially free at inference; fused into a single CuTe kernel, long-context prefill reaches up to 1.39times FA2 throughput on H100 (approaching the Hopper-only FA4), and single-batch generation incurs le 4% overhead at every length. On Qwen3-1.7B/4B/8B up to 128K context, Jet-Long leads RULER by +4.79/+2.18/+2.03~pp over the strongest baseline at 1.7B/4B/8B, achieves the best overall accuracy on HELMET-RAG (a benchmark identified by HELMET as the most efficient predictor of downstream long-context performance) and attains the lowest PG-19 perplexity. Jet-Long also generalizes to hybrid attention architectures such as Jet-Nemotron for further long-context improvement without retraining, and remains hyperparameter-resilient for ease of deployment.
The growing demand for image-to-video creation on mobile devices has increasingly focused on cinematic motion effects like bullet time, dolly zoom, slow motion, etc. While Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) exhibit strong performance in video generation, their large parameter sizes and multi-step iterative denoising processes lead to substantial computational overhead, making efficient generation on mobile devices challenging. We propose CineMobile to bridge the gap. In particular, CineMobile adopts a three-fold optimization strategy: (1) leveraging a distillation-guided pruning approach to derive a compact yet efficient model that retains the essential video generation capabilities required for cinematic effects; (2) optimizing the compressed model into a 4-step generator via a combination of diffusion distillation and reinforcement learning; (3) employing a hybrid post-training quantization strategy to compress the model footprint to under 1 GB. Experimental results show that compared to the teacher model with the Wan 2.1 architecture, CineMobile achieves a 40x speedup in generation while maintaining comparable visual quality. Specifically, CineMobile generates 49-frame 480p videos with a per-step denoising latency of 0.6s on an NVIDIA H200 GPU and 20s on the MediaTek Dimensity 8400 Ultimate 5G platform, with a peak memory usage of 1.8 GB, demonstrating its practical applicability for mobile-based image-to-video creation.
