Nvidia GTC 2025 – Built for Reasoning, Vera Rubin, Kyber, Jensen Math, Feynman (semianalysis.com)
AI model progress has accelerated tremendously, and in the last six months, models have improved more than in the previous six months. This trend will continue because three scaling laws are stacked together and working in tandem: pre-training scaling, post-training scaling, and inference time scaling.

Gemma3 – The current strongest model that fits on a single GPU (ollama.com)
Gemma is a lightweight, family of models from Google built on Gemini technology. The Gemma 3 models are multimodal—processing text and images—and feature a 128K context window with support for over 140 languages. Available in 1B, 4B, 12B, and 27B parameter sizes, they excel in tasks like question answering, summarization, and reasoning, while their compact design allows deployment on resource-limited devices.
