Research Scientist, NVIDIA
Tuomas Rintamaki is a Research Scientist at NVIDIA, where he develops the Nemotron family of open multimodal foundation models across image, video, audio, and text - most recently Nemotron 3 Nano Omni. His work spans the full model development cycle: pretraining, post-training, data curation and synthesis, evaluation, inference optimization, and training infrastructure.
Practitioners from the companies at the frontier of inference and model development sit down to unpack what application developers need to understand right now: why fine-tuning is quietly resurging under the name "RL," how smart teams are compressing inference costs by shaping smaller specialized models, who owns the model routing problem, and why inference capacity is structurally behind demand — possibly for years.
