We had Fashion Week at the office today. For the new @scale_AI swag collection.
There were themes: Recursive Self Improvement, and Quality. There was a 10-year retrospective. There was a front row.
Hoodies are serious business.

Excited to release FineART with @scale_AI! 1,600 hours of high-quality data with fine-grained subtask annotations, plus FineART-VLA, which predicts subtasks while acting.
We also built the infrastructure to store and train on diverse language annotations. Try it in LeRobot!

In collaboration with @huggingface, we’ve released the largest open robot dataset, alongside their first open System 1-System 2 model that can reason over step-by-step actions.
FineART is built with 40K+ demonstrations across 151 tasks and 500K subtask labels.
Together, the designed for each other, and both are available on @LeRobotHF where robotics developers work today.

DualChem, a new benchmark from @scale_AI, tested 29 frontier models on dual-use chemistry questions: ones that could serve either legitimate scientific research or harmful ends.
They frequently flagged the risk, then answered anyway.
Recognition is not refusal.
DualChem is part of our research collaboration with @NIST’s Center for Advancing Innovation and Standards for Super Intelligence (CAISSI).
Governments need independent testing capacity they don’t have today.

NEWS: @scale_AI is putting down roots in Qatar. Today we signed an agreement with @udcqatar to establish a long-term home in Doha.
Our team in Doha has grown to nearly 100 people. The office at The Pearl builds on our five-year partnership with @MCITQatar, where our team is making healthcare, justice, education and tourism services more reliable for the people who depend on them.
We’ve also trained nearly 6,000 government employees.
Qatar’s AI ambitions depend as much on its people as on its technology, and building that literacy and confidence matters as much as anything we deploy.
Thank you to MCIT for its leadership, and to UDC for helping us build a lasting home.

NEWS: Scale is open for business in the UAE! Today at the Dubai AI Festival, we launched Scale AI in the UAE. Between this launch and our partnership with @PresightAI, we’re moving quickly to support the UAE’s national investment in AI.
Our role in this part of the world is to put their strategy into practice by standing up AI that works reliably in Arabic, meets local governance requirements, and keeps people in control.
Our UAE team is based at the Dubai International Finance Center - thank you to the @DIFC for the warm welcome. We’re excited to be part of UAE’s dynamic AI industry.

THE SCALE MAFIA
one of the most special parts of starting a company is watching the people you fought and bled with in the early days go out and change the world.
the Scale crew was supernatural. @scale_AI was one of the first companies to IOI and IMO-maxx, and the magic of hese geniuses gave a shit and ran through walls. it's no wonder that the Scale mafia is the first true mafia of the modern tech era. just to name a few:
- cognition founder @stevenkplus1 & president @russelljkaplan
- modal founder @akshat_b
- tech & science advisor to POTUS @mkratsios47
- claude code head of product @_catwu
- kpcb partners @LM_Braswell & @nayakkayak

Being in the @scale_AI mafia is truly an unfair advantage … lucky to still work with a lot of this list (and many others outside of it)!

The @scale_AI Mafia is an unreal force 🤯. Wild to see what this crew is doing—and the talent and ambition of the next generation. It’s clear this story is just getting started.

Nemotron 3.5 Bolt E4B 4GB is an impressive small language model. Its 76.8% on instruction retention shows it’s already strong out of the box, giving builders a solid base for post-training.
Congrats to @JensenHuang and the @NVIDIAAI team on the launch.
Congrats to @JensenHuang and the @NVIDIAAI team on the launch.
Nemotron 3.5 Bolt E4B 4GB from @NVIDIAAI is the 🥇small language model on MultiChallenge, scoring 56.03% and finishing 12.8 points clear of Gemma 4 E4B (43.2%).
MultiChallenge tests how well models hold up across realistic multi-turn conversations, from remembering details a to following instructions set at the start of a chat.
Where Bolt E4B pulls ahead says a lot about where small models are improving. 🧵

The future of enterprise AI is multi-model, and enterprises deserve the freedom to choose.
NEWS: We’re expanding that choice through our collaboration with @nvidia, post-training its open-weight Nemotron 3.5 Super VL for enterprise workflows. Here’s what it delivered for two of nce: A complex finance workflow that reviews vendor credit memos, statements and invoices to find credits the company is owed. Post-trained Nemotron matched their current frontier model’s accuracy at 40x lower inference cost, with 5x faster response times.
✅ @EY_US: An M&A due diligence agent that finds and reconciles answers across hundreds of files in a virtual data room. Post-trained Nemotron matched EY’s current frontier model at about one-eighteenth of the inference cost, returning answers more than twice as fast.
Put NVIDIA’s open-weight models to work for your business with Scale Post-Training.
Thank you, @JensenHuang and the NVIDIA team, for the early access and collaboration.
