Nvidia unveils new Cosmos world models, infra for robotics and physical uses

Nvidia has introduced a suite of new AI models and infrastructure aimed at advancing robotics and physical AI applications. The centerpiece is Cosmos Reason, a 7-billion-parameter vision-language model designed to enable robots and AI agents to "reason" by leveraging memory and physics understanding. This capability allows Cosmos Reason to function as a planning model, helping embodied agents determine their next steps, and it can be applied in data curation, robot planning, and video analytics. Alongside Cosmos Reason, Nvidia unveiled Cosmos Transfer-2, which accelerates synthetic data generation from 3D simulations or spatial controls, and a faster, distilled version of Cosmos Transfers optimized for speed. In addition to the AI models, Nvidia announced new neural reconstruction libraries that facilitate 3D simulation of real-world environments using sensor data, with integration into the open-source CARLA simulator. The company also updated its Omniverse software development kit and introduced new hardware solutions, including the Nvidia RTX Pro Blackwell Servers tailored for robotics workflows and the DG
