NVIDIA AI Releases Nemotron 3 Embed: An Open Embedding Collection Whose 8B Checkpoint Ranks #1 on RTEB

Embedding models decide which passages an agent ever sees. NVIDIA released Nemotron 3 Embed model to work on that layer. It targets production-scale RAG, agentic retrieval, code retrieval, and agent memory. What is Nemotron 3 Embed? The model collection includes three open checkpoints. Nemotron-3-Embed-8B-BF16 is the accuracy-first option. Nemotron-3-Embed-1B-BF16 carries the same design into a smaller footprint. Nemotron-3-Embed-1B-NVFP4 is the Blackwell-optimized 4-bit path. All three are transformer encoders trained with bidirectional attention masking . The final embedding comes from average pooling over token-level representations. Maximum sequence length is 32,768 tokens on every checkpoint. Each model was evaluated across 34 languages. All three carry the OpenMDW License Agreement, version 1.1 (OpenMDW-1.1) . Notably, the bases are Mistral models. The 8B is built with Ministral-3-8B-Instruct-2512 . Both 1B variants use Ministral-3-3B-Instruct-2512 . Per...

Moonshot AI Releases Kimi K3: A 2.8 Trillion Parameter Open MoE Model With Kimi Delta Attention and 1M Context

Moonshot AI just released Kimi K3 . It is a 2.8-trillion-parameter model with native vision and a 1-million-token context window. Moonshot calls it the world’s first open 3T-class model. What is Kimi K3? Kimi K3 is a sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model built on two architectural updates. Those are Kimi Delta Attention (KDA) and Attention Residuals (AttnRes). Both change how information flows across sequence length and model depth. K3 targets long-horizon coding, knowledge work, and reasoning. Moonshot team states K3 is the first open model to reach 2.8 trillion parameters. For nine of the past twelve months, Kimi models set the upper bound of open-model sizes. Moonshot is also direct about where K3 sits. Overall performance still trails the most powerful proprietary models, Claude Fable 5 and GPT 5.6 Sol. Across Moonshot’s own evaluation suite, K3 consistently outperformed other tested models. https://ift.tt/9ExKhIC The Architecture Underneath ...

OpenAI Details GPT-Red: An Internal Automated Red-Teaming Model That Beat Human Red-Teamers 84% To 13% On Prompt Injection

This week, OpenAI published details of GPT-Red , an internal-only automated red-teaming model. Its job is to attack OpenAI’s own models and find prompt injection vulnerabilities. OpenAI gives two reasons. Human red-teaming is time-intensive and does not scale. Commonly used robustness evaluations are already saturated by its latest models. Meanwhile, the attack surface grows. Agents read third-party data through browsers, connected apps, local files, and tools. Those affordances are necessary for real work. They also let an attacker plant a crafted instruction in that data. What is GPT-Red? GPT-Red is a model, not a static benchmark or a prompt library. It works like a human red-teamer. It sends a prompt, observes the response, and iterates toward a goal. OpenAI team trained it at the compute scale of some of its largest post-training runs, purely for safety. Two deployment decisions matter. First, GPT-Red is kept separate from deployed models. That keeps...
