As a test of our progress to advance the frontier of AI research, in June we entered the next generation of our autonomous AI research system, AIRA₃, in a live Kaggle competition run by NVIDIA to fine-tune a 30B Nemotron model. The challenge was to teach the model to reason better — all competitors had access to the same information and were graded externally on a private test set. AIRA₃ placed 8th out of ~4,000 teams to win Gold, outperforming human competitors who had access to the same frontier tools. We believe this is a reliable signal that AIRA₃ can improve a targeted capability of an AI model at a level similar to human experts.
