When asked which papers best detail frontier model training end to end, Himanshu recommends skipping papers and going straight to technical reports from open-source labs like DeepSeek, AI2, NVIDIA Nemotron, and Arcee — with AI2's OLMo 3 singled out as the best starting point. These reports openly share data pipelines, training recipes, and ablations, making them the most practical entry into language model training.
