Nvidia unveils Cosmos world models for AI video generation at CES 2025

Nvidia has launched a new family of AI models called Cosmos World Foundation Models (Cosmos WFMs) at CES 2025. These models can generate "physics-aware" videos and are available for free use under a permissive license, allowing commercial applications. The Cosmos WFMs are categorized into three types: Nano, Super, and Ultra, varying in size and performance. They were trained on extensive data from real-world interactions, but Nvidia has not disclosed specific sources, raising copyright concerns. Companies like Uber and Wayve are already testing Cosmos WFMs for various applications, including autonomous vehicle development. However, Nvidia's models are not fully open source, as they do not provide complete details on their design or training data.
