I use this line about LLMs a lot – that they're a bunch of matrix multiplication – because I think it demystifies them A multiple GB file of floating point numbers you can download and run matrix multiplications against on your own machine is a bit less weird and frightening

How do you teach an AI model to reason? 🤔
— NVIDIA AI (@NVIDIAAI) 27 août 2025
We are developing a set of tests that coach AI models to understand the physical world and apply common sense.
These tests are used to develop reasoning models such as NVIDIA Cosmos Reason which just topped the physical reasoning… pic.twitter.com/eBVNIbQhZoHow do you teach an AI model to reason?

RL Finetuning: Major Upgrade Over SFT for LLMs
By

I just mean long term, imo RL finetuning paradigm is a big upgrade over just SFT (expert imitation) for LLMs at the current stage of development and will continue to grow substantially.

In era of pretraining, what mattered was internet text. You'd primarily want a large, diverse, high quality collection of internet documents to learn from.
