nvidia going all in on local ai.
here's our take: it shouldn't depend on which chip you bought.
sparks, macs, the 5090 already on your desk, we cluster across all of it and split your favorite model pipeline-parallel so it runs fully private and local.

Building open-source environment infrastructure for our distributed RL training stack — reproducible, scalable to thousand-GPU runs
Looking for 1–2 RL Environments engineers / tech leads: You've designed verifiers, built sandboxes for agentic RL rollouts, or shipped RL training data pipelines that survived contact with real training.
Domain depth in math, code, agent, tool, or GUI is a plus. PhD not required.
Also hiring research interns: PhD / Masters students with hands-on RLHF / RLVR / GRPO / DPO / agentic RL experience. Open-source footprint matters more than paper count. Most intern roles convert post-grad. No age cap. Founding-team-level equity for the right people.
DMs open.
To make this work, we adapted Parallax, @Gradient_HQ's distributed inference framework, to run across EdgeCloud's global node network. One API endpoint, model split across many machines, no centralized cluster required.
Announcing ARC-AGI-3
The only unsaturated agentic intelligence benchmark in the world
Humans score 100%, AI <1%
This human-AI gap demonstrates we do not yet have AGI
Most benchmarks test what models already know, ARC-AGI-3 tests how they learn
New on the Anthropic Engineering Blog:
How we use a multi-agent harness to push Claude further in frontend design and long-running autonomous software engineering.

Open models, open orchestration, open compute. The agentic RL stack that used to live inside walled gardens just showed up on hardware you can order and frameworks you can fork.
No masters needed.
Our GTC takeaway is clear: NVIDIA is betting hard on open.
- NemoClaw turns OpenClaw into enterprise infrastructure.
- Nemotron 4 will be open-sourced.
- Nemotron Coalition puts eight labs on a shared open frontier model.
This is what we've been building toward. Open infrastructure for open intelligence is the direction the biggest AI companies are taking.
some parallax dev lunch break fun:
- a macbook pro, a mac mini, some cables
- zero internet, zero cost
- openclaw running on parallax
no subs. no token burn. nothing leaves the desk.
just local agents vibing.
The high costs and centralization of AI infrastructure have created a significant barrier to independent AI research and development.
@Gradient_HQ is addressing this through the Open Intelligence Stack, a distributed operating system that optimizes idle hardware.
Their Reinforced Learning framework, Echo-2, drastically reduces the cost and time required for post-training a base model while preserving performance.
