Multimodal Language Models Benchmarked Against the NRC Reactor Operator Licensing Examination: Fine-Tuning and Retrieval Strategies
Competence claims for a language model in a safety-critical domain are credible when measured against a standard the domain already enforces. We evaluate an open-weight 31-billion-parameter multimodal model (Gemma 4 31B-IT) on the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Reactor Operator Generic Fundamentals Examination (GFE...
