NVIDIA releases four Cosmos 3 checkpoints for interactive simulation

The open-weight models target driving scenes, sensor observations and robot-action video.

Publisher: NVIDIA · Model / component: Cosmos3-Nano-Transfer-Auto, Cosmos3-Nano-Sim-Auto, Cosmos3-Nano-Sim-Transfer, Cosmos3-Nano-Sim-Bimanual
Availability: Open weights subject to OpenMDW 1.1 terms.

NVIDIA announced four post-trained Cosmos 3 Nano checkpoints for interactive world simulation: Transfer-Auto, Sim-Auto, Sim-Transfer and Sim-Bimanual. The publisher describes 16 billion trainable parameters for each. Read the original announcement and project details.

Why it matters

Their intended tasks range from varying driving-scene weather and lighting to generating synchronized camera and LiDAR observations and predicting video from robot actions. NVIDIA describes them as starting points for research and adaptation, not substitutes for real-world safety validation.

What to know

The models use OpenMDW 1.1, which permits commercial and non-commercial use under its terms. Review the individual model cards, hardware requirements and license before deployment. We have not run or benchmarked the models.
