Fine-Tuned Nemotron Reports Gold-Level IOI and IMO Results
A Hugging Face post reports gold-level results after fine-tuning Nemotron for the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI) and International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). The provided source contains no further details about the fine-tuning method or results.
The report points to Nemotron’s use in advanced programming and mathematical problem-solving, though the available source provides no supporting details.
The International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI) and the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) test different skills. IOI requires algorithms and code that pass hidden tests under strict time and submission limits. IMO demands rigorous natural-language proofs. Success at either competition is difficult. Success at both points to something broader.
Our recent results show that Nemotron is a strong, adaptable foundation for building world-class specialist models. Starting from Nemotron 3, our teams used supervised fine-tuning (SFT), reinforcement learning (RL), and feedback-driven inference to create systems that reached gold-medal level at both IMO 2026 and IOI 2026.
| Competition | Nemotron specialization | Result |
|---|---|---|
| IOI 2026 | Nemotron-3-Ultra-CC with SFT and GenCorrect | 535.4/600, above the 361.12 gold threshold and the top human score of 498.27 |
| IMO 2026 | Nemotron 3 Ultra general, SFT, and RL checkpoints in a generate-verify-refine system | 30/42, above the official gold threshold of 29 |
The IOI result came from a live, prospective run under the same time, internet-access, and submission constraints as human contestants. It was an unofficial, unsupervised benchmark and was not included in the official IOI ranking. The IMO system’s submitted proofs were graded by official IMO graders.
