NVIDIA AI Releases Star Elastic: One Checkpoint that Contains 30B, 23B, and 12B Reasoning Models with Zero-Shot Slicing

Training a family of large language models (LLMs) has always come with a painful multiplier: every model variant in the family—whether 8B, 30B, or 70B—typically requires its own full training run, its own storage, and its own deployment stack. For a dev team running inference at scale, this means multiplying compute costs by the number […]
