NVIDIA Releases Cosmos3-Super: 64B-Parameter Omnimodal World Model for Physical AI

NVIDIA released Cosmos3-Super, a 64-billion parameter omnimodal foundation model designed for Physical AI applications across robotics, autonomous driving, and industrial environments. The model generates video, images, audio, and robot action commands from multimodal inputs.

Model Architecture and Specifications

Cosmos3-Super uses a Mixture-of-Transformers (MoT) architecture combining an autoregressive transformer for text generation with a diffusion transformer for continuous multimodal outputs. The model processes text, images, video (with or without audio), and action trajectories as inputs.

The model supports context windows up to 256K tokens for reasoning tasks and accepts video inputs at resolutions up to 720p across multiple aspect ratios (16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16). Video generation handles 5 to 400 frames, with 189 frames as the default duration.

Model Collection

NVIDIA released four variants:

  • Cosmos3-Nano: 16B parameters for multimodal understanding and generation
  • Cosmos3-Super: 64B parameters for advanced world simulation
  • Cosmos3-Nano-Policy-DROID: 16B parameters fine-tuned for DROID robot platform
  • Cosmos3-Super-Image2Video: 64B parameters specialized for image-to-video generation
  • Cosmos3-Super-Text2Image: 64B parameters for text-to-image synthesis

Technical Capabilities

The model supports multiple robot embodiments including Franka Panda arms, Agibot, UR robots, Google robots, WidowX 250, and UMI platforms. Action outputs are dimensioned for specific embodiments, ranging from 9D for camera motion to 57D for egocentric motion.

Audio processing operates at 48 kHz stereo with AAC encoding. Video inputs require 4 fps for optimal reasoning performance.

Availability and Requirements

The models are available on Hugging Face and GitHub under the OpenMDW1.1 license for commercial and non-commercial use. NVIDIA states the models are optimized for NVIDIA Ampere, Hopper, and Blackwell architectures running Linux. Only BF16 precision is officially tested and supported.

Supported runtimes include PyTorch, vLLM-Omni, and Hugging Face Diffusers.

What This Means

Cosmos3-Super represents NVIDIA's entry into world models for embodied AI, directly competing with approaches from companies like OpenAI and Google DeepMind in the Physical AI space. The 256K token context window and native action trajectory generation distinguish it from vision-language models without embodied AI capabilities. The release of specialized variants for specific platforms (DROID) suggests NVIDIA is positioning Cosmos as both a research foundation and a commercial robotics development tool. Pricing has not been disclosed, which will be critical for adoption given the model's 64B parameter scale and GPU requirements.
