| The Rundown: Nvidia quietly released a new open-sourced, fine-tuned LLM called Llama-3.1-Nemotron-70B-Instruct, which is outperforming industry leaders like GPT-4o and Claude 3.5 Sonnet on key benchmarks. | The details: | Nemotron is based on Meta's Llama 3.1 70B model, fine-tuned by NVIDIA using advanced ML methods like RLHF. The model achieves top scores on alignment benchmarks like Arena Hard (85.0), AlpacaEval 2 LC (57.6), and GPT-4-Turbo MT-Bench (8.98). The scores edge out competitors like GPT-4o and Claude 3.5 Sonnet across multiple metrics — despite being significantly smaller at just 70B parameters. NVIDIA open-sourced the model, reward model, and training dataset on Hugging Face, which can also be tested in a preview on the company's website.
| Why it matters: Is a smaller open-source model racing to the top? While NVIDIA's chipmaking triumphs are well-known, more surprising are the powerhouse models the company continues to produce. With open-source foundations and advanced fine-tuning, Nemotron is showing that smaller, efficient models can compete with giants. |

| | MISTRAL AI | | |  | Image source: Mistral AI |
| The Rundown: French AI startup Mistral AI just launched two new compact language models designed to bring powerful AI capabilities to edge devices like phones and laptops. | The details: | The new 'Les Ministraux' family includes Ministral 3B and Ministral 8B models, which have just 3B and 8B parameters, respectively. Despite their small size, the models outperform competitors like Gemma and Llama on benchmarks, including Mistral's 7B model from last year. Minstral 8B uses a new 'interleaved sliding-window attention' mechanism to efficiently process long sequences. The models are designed for on-device use cases like local translation, offline assistants, and autonomous robotics.
| Why it matters: While we await the incoming rollout of Apple Intelligence as many users' first on-device AI experience, smaller models that can run efficiently and locally on phones and computers continue to level up. Having a top-tier LLM in the palm of your hand is about to become a norm, not a luxury. |

| | BOSTON DYNAMICS | |  | Image source: Boston Dynamics |
| The Rundown: Boston Dynamics and the Toyota Research Institute just announced a new partnership to accelerate development of advanced humanoids, with plans to integrate TRI's Large Behavior Models (LBMs) into the Atlas electric robot. | The details: | Toyota's LBMs aim to teach robots to handle multi-task, dexterous vision, and language-guided capabilities. The partnership combines two robotics labs owned by competing automakers, Hyundai (who purchased Boston Dynamics in 2020) and Toyota. TRI's 'Diffusion Policy' enables robots to learn 60+ complex skills from human demos without coding, a key component of the partnership's research efforts. Boston Dynamics retired its hydraulic Atlas robot in April and debuted the electric update, currently being tested in Hyundai's automotive factories.
| Why it matters: The race for commercial humanoids is heating up fast — and this partnership represents a major power move. But with the likes of Tesla's Optimus, Figure's 01 humanoids, and others in the mix, there is no shortage of rivals rushing to capture the massive potential of the emerging general-purpose robots. |
