- Took 1st place in Track C and Grand Prize among all 20 competing teams with synthetic data generation technology specialized for MoE quantization
- Built a dataset using an agent based on Nemotron 3 Super120B, presenting a data-centric rather than algorithm-centric optimization approach
SEOUL, South Korea, April 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Nota AI, a leading AI model compression and optimization company, today announced that it took 1st place in Track C at the NVIDIA Nemotron Hackathon with its synthetic data generation technology specialized for Mixture of Experts (MoE) quantization, and was named Grand Prize winner among all 20 competing teams.
The hackathon was organized to share the latest research on NVIDIA's newest open-source AI model, "Nemotron™", and to give Korean developers hands-on experience with world-class AI technologies to strengthen their practical application capabilities. Participants competed across three tracks using NVIDIA technology: developing AI agents to solve real-world problems (Track A), advancing domain-specific Nemotron models through SFT and RL (Track B), and designing synthetic data pipelines to build high-quality datasets (Track C). Nota AI took 1st place in Track C, which focused on synthetic data pipelines for SDG, and received the highest overall evaluation among all competing teams to claim the Grand Prize.
In the competition, Nota AI used an agent based on NVIDIA's Nemotron 3 super to build a quantization dataset specialized for the MoE architecture, and demonstrated a data-centric approach that minimizes performance loss in MoE models. While conventional quantization methods have primarily focused on formula- and algorithm-centric optimization, Nota AI differentiated itself by precisely engineering the structure, quality, and task-alignment of the dataset to unlock higher quantization performance.
This is also notable in that it demonstrates that the center of gravity in AI optimization is expanding beyond model compression algorithms themselves to encompass how data is designed and leveraged. Through this hackathon, Nota AI delivered tangible results aligned with this trend leveraging NVIDIA technology, and the achievement is expected to serve as a stepping stone to further expanding the two companies' partnership. Nota AI is also continuing its technology collaboration with NVIDIA across vision AI applications by integrating NVIDIA's video search and summarization tool "VSS Blueprint" into its vision-language model (VLM)-based real-time video analytics solution NVA (Nota Vision Agent), enabling real-time detection and summarization of anomalous situations and thereby reducing on-site response time.
Myungsu Chae, CEO of Nota AI, said, "This award demonstrates that AI optimization is not confined to algorithmic refinement alone — it shows that new possibilities can emerge depending on how we design and leverage purpose-fit data. Building on our partnership with NVIDIA, we will continue to advance data-centric AI optimization technologies and solutions that can be deployed directly to real-world industrial environments."

Nota AI Wins Grand Prize at NVIDIA Nemotron Hackathon, Proving MoE Quantization Prowess with Synthetic Data Technology
- Launch of #AnakSiapaNi Anak Scott's Lah campaign celebrating proud everyday moments when children stay healthy and active
- Scott's and Watsons commit six months of nutritional and essential support to children at House of Love
- 24–26 April roadshow at Sunway Velocity Mall featuring interactive family activities that promote everyday immunity habits
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, April 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Keeping children healthy and protected from frequent illnesses remains a top concern for Malaysian parents. Immunity support is the number one benefit parents seek, as preventing their children from falling sick continues to be a key priority.
Preschool-aged children typically fall ill eight to twelve times a year as their immune systems are still developing. At the same time, recent national data points to a silent nutritional gap. According to the National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS) 2024, nearly 78% of Malaysian adolescents, along with a significant proportion of younger children, do not meet the recommended daily intake of Vitamin C.
Against this backdrop, Scott's is reinforcing its #AnakSiapaNi Anak Scott's Lah campaign, first launched in February, through a special Scott's Children's Day 2026 celebration. The #AnakSiapaNi campaign captures those everyday moments when children surprise and impress us with their energy, determination, and resilience—prompting parents to proudly ask, "Anak siapa ni?" With Scott's support, the answer is simple: Anak Scott's Lah!
The campaign comes to life through a brand film and on-ground activations that celebrate children's unique personalities, while highlighting the importance of strong immunity in helping them stay healthy, active, and ready to take on everyday experiences.
Neelesh Suryavanshee, General Manager for Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei at Haleon, shared the inspiration behind the campaign: "At Scott's, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to explore, learn, and grow without being held back. The #AnakSiapaNi campaign celebrates those proud parenting moments—whether it's seeing your child confidently lead a game or stay energised through a busy school week."
"Through our collaboration with Watsons and House of Love, we are also extending this support to children in underserved communities, helping ensure more children have access to the nutritional foundation they need to stay healthy. Ultimately, we want every parent to feel that pride that comes with saying, "Anak Scott's Lah!" he added.
Supporting Everyday Immunity with Scott's Vitamin C Pastilles
Central to this year's celebration are Scott's Vitamin C Pastilles—soft, chewy, and Halal-certified supplements. Vitamin C helps support children's immune health.
High in Vitamin C and suitable for children aged three years and above, the pastilles help meet daily Vitamin C requirements in a convenient and enjoyable format. Available in Mixed Berries, Orange, and Blackcurrant flavours, they serve as a trusted daily companion for growing children.
Putting Children's Wellbeing at the Heart of the Celebration
In conjunction with Scott's Children's Day 2026, Haleon, together with Watsons, is supporting House of Love as part of its broader commitment to children's wellbeing in the community.
Representatives from House of Love were welcomed as honoured guests at the launch event, where Haleon and Watsons presented care packs comprising approximately 1,000 units of Scott's products, along with essential items from Watsons, to support the wellbeing of children from underserved communities.
As a brand trusted by generations and recognised as the No. 1 Children's Supplement Brand in Peninsular Malaysia, Scott's continues to extend its care beyond retail shelves and into the communities it serves.
A Weekend of Fun and Immunity-Building Moments
Following the launch, the Scott's Children's Day 2026 roadshow will take place at Sunway Velocity Mall (Vanity Atrium) from 24 to 26 April 2026, inviting families to participate in fun and simple challenges that encourage everyday immunity-building habits.
The activation is designed to create proud, shareable moments that embody the spirit of #AnakSiapaNi—moments that make parents smile and confidently say, Anak Scott's Lah!
Through the #AnakSiapaNi campaign, a strong focus on Scott's Vitamin C Pastilles, and meaningful community partnerships centred on children's wellbeing, Scott's Children's Day 2026 reaffirms the brand's commitment to nurturing healthier, happier, and more confident generations.
