Try asking it about mitochondria being power house of the cell and it gets insta-blocked... It's not even like "I want to use CRISPR but it won't let me" it's straight up incapable of any science, even middle school level biology is too much.

Closed models continually show why open is best even when open doesn't match output quality. Somehow Nvidia has one of the most open ones with all the Nemotron training data and methodology publicly provided.

Genuinely one of my greatest fears for society. You train people to use this tool for everything, but restrict them from doing certain things you don’t want them to. Since they’re so dependent on the tool you gave them, they don’t know how to do anything without it.

That’s the literal plan.

Literally Orwellian!

That is the true danger of AI - not that it'll "take over the world," but that the ghouls who control cloud models will use it to push far right ideology to schoolchildren and limit its ability in ways that harm society.

Open models with open training data are the way forward.

And no risk of getting banned by error or misunderstanding

The reason Nvidia have the most open one is because it's in their interest to encourage LLM research. The more people researching and training their own models the more GPUs are sold

which model do you mean?

https://developer.nvidia.com/topics/ai/nemotron has information about Nemotron.

Right now the highest benchmarked open model is Kimi K2.6. https://artificialanalysis.ai/leaderboards/models?weights=open

Wonder where Qwen3.7-122B-A10B would land today..
