Nvidia announced that Japanese robotics and manufacturing leaders are building on top of Nvidia Cosmos World Foundation model for physical AI.
The open model is being used at the top Japanese companies, including Fanuc, Fujitsu, Kawasaki, Kubota, Mitsubishi, NEC and SoftBank, said Deepu Talla, vice president of robotics and edge AI, in a press briefing.
All these companies are collaboratively building next-generation open models using Nvidia Cosmos. In addition to Nvidia Cosmos, companies like Omron, Sony, and others are also leveraging Nvidia Isaac robotics platform and Jetson robotics computers to bring all these world foundation models plus robotics platforms together.
Nvidia said Cosmos will help bring about a new golden age of Japanese robotics.
Nvidia Cosmos 3 is world frontier model for physical data.
“It is today, in fact, the No. 1 open model for vision reasoning and robot policy actions, so you can do things like evaluate robot policies for simulation,” Talla said.
You can do all the reasoning for video, and when you combine all of that, it becomes the a better world foundation model, he said.
At GTC Taipei last month, Nvidia released Cosmos Free Super. This week Nvidia is announcing Cosmos 3 H, which is the smallest model of all. It runs on tiny Jetson computers and up. It’s memory efficient yet
Cosmos 3 H is memory efficient, yet it provides high throughput inference on Nvidia Jetson. It is cheap to customize because once you deploy the model, for each deployment you want to fine-tune it and customize it, it takes one day to just customize it with four times less compute compared to the bigger Cosmos models, Talla said.
Developers can also use Cosmos Open Cosmos datasets, frameworks, and recipes to build specialized models. Nvidia provides the complete toolchain for each of its developers and companies to derive their own specialized models and keep all the proprietary knowledge into their power.
