NVIDIA's open-source Nemotron-Cascade RL recipe wins NeurIPS Oral, IOI silver
_weiping · x · 2026-09-25
- NVIDIA's Nemotron-Cascade, a fully open-source RL recipe for LLM post-training (model + data on Hugging Face), is accepted as an Oral at NeurIPS 2026.
- Instead of mixing tasks, it scales Cascade RL as a curriculum: RLHF → Instruct → Math → Code → SWE.
- Results: Silver Medal at IOI 2025 and outperforms DeepSeek-R1-0528 on LiveCodeBench; the team's technical report details learnings.
