"An Open Recipe for IMO Gold: Training Nemotron for Olympiad Mathematics." NVIDIA's Nemotron Labs released the full stack behind an ensemble that reached a gold-medal level score at the 2026 International Mathematical Olympiad: two post-trained variants of Nemotron 3 Ultra (550B-A55B) specialized to solve hard problems and to find mistakes in proofs (Ultra-Math-SFT and Ultra-Math-RL), the Nemotron-Math-Proofs-v3 SFT and RL datasets, the Nemotron-IMO-Bench evaluation set, and the test-time-scaling recipe in NeMo-Skills. Weights and data ship under OpenMDW 1.1 for commercial and non-commercial use; the report posted to arXiv on September 9 (Ivan Moshkov, Stephen Ge et al.).
