NVIDIA Star Elastic: One Checkpoint, Three Reasoning Models, Zero-Shot Slicing
On May 7, 2026, NVIDIA released Star Elastic — a single 30-billion-parameter reasoning checkpoint that contains two smaller production-ready models, 23B and 12B, embedded in its weights. Developers can extract the smaller variants with a one-shot slicing script, no fine-tuning required. The release introduces a “many-in-one” approach to LLM packaging that NVIDIA reports cuts post-training […]
