Merve Noyan says domain post-training of open models is a company's biggest moat
Overview
Hugging Face's Merve Noyan argues that a company's biggest moat is its ability to post-train open models on its own domain data using open RL environments, and says both are costly to build.
In an X post she says companies not doing this are missing out, and she cites NVIDIA's Nemotron 3.5 Super VL, which partners have adapted through post-training. The report contains only Noyan's claim and does not measure any results from such post-training.
