Meta's AIRA₃ autonomous research system wins Kaggle gold fine-tuning a 30B Nemotron model (@AIatMeta)
X post · Story page
Meta says AIRA₃ placed 8th of about 4,000 teams in a live NVIDIA-run Kaggle competition to fine-tune a 30B Nemotron model, a gold medal graded on a private test set. The gold entry was an ensemble of GPT 5.5 with OpenCode and Claude 4.8 with Claude Code, run as many long-running agents coordinating through a shared forum and filesystem.
In plain words
- Meta says its automated research system won gold in a competition to improve artificial intelligence reasoning.
- Its coding assistants worked separately, sharing ideas and results through a discussion board and common files.
- Competitors received the same information, and their entries were scored using test material kept hidden from them.
- Meta sees this as a sign that its system can improve artificial intelligence reasoning about as well as human experts.
