Santa Clara, Tuesday, 7 January 2025.
NVIDIA has launched the Cosmos platform, designed to accelerate the development of autonomous vehicles and robots. This innovative platform introduces advanced AI models and sophisticated video processing capabilities. The Cosmos World Foundation Models are trained on an astonishing 20 million hours of data, categorized into Nano, Super, and Ultra models, each offering different levels of performance and quality. These models are now available under an open model license, providing developers with unprecedented access to cutting-edge AI tools for commercial use. This move highlights NVIDIA’s commitment to leading AI advancements and could significantly impact its market standing. By democratizing access to these powerful tools, NVIDIA positions itself at the forefront of AI innovation, potentially reshaping industries reliant on robotics and autonomous systems.

Market implications and partnerships

Major industry players are already aligning with NVIDIA’s vision. Companies including Uber, Waabi, and XPENG have begun collaborating with the Cosmos platform [5]. The technology’s adoption by these industry leaders signals strong market confidence. NVIDIA’s strategic timing coincides with CEO Jensen Huang’s CES 2025 keynote presentation, where he emphasized AI’s rapid development pace [4]. The platform’s launch follows NVIDIA’s recent certification achievements for their DRIVE AGX Hyperion platform, which received safety and cybersecurity approval from TÜV SÜD and TÜV Rheinland [4].

Technical capabilities and processing power

The Cosmos platform demonstrates remarkable processing capabilities, with the ability to handle 9,000 trillion tokens from its vast training dataset [5]. The system can process 20 million hours of data in just 40 days using NVIDIA Hopper GPUs, with processing time reduced to 14 days on the newer Blackwell GPUs [5]. The platform incorporates built-in safety features, including Cosmos Guardrails for screening harmful content and a watermarking system for AI-generated sequences [5].

Developer accessibility and tools

NVIDIA has made the Cosmos models accessible through multiple channels, including the NVIDIA NGC catalog and Hugging Face [5][8]. The platform supports OpenUSD-based digital twins and enables immersive streaming to various devices [3]. Developers can utilize the platform for creating interactive product configurators and combining synthetic data with real-world information, significantly reducing AI model training time and costs [3].
