NVIDIA Alpamayo

NVIDIA's open-source family of vision language action (VLA) models for autonomous vehicle development. Features chain-of-thought, reasoning-based decision-making that brings humanlike thinking to AV decisions. Models reason over complex driving scenes, verbalize decision logic, and support interpretable, auditable autonomy. Can be used as student backbone for automotive policy model distillation.

NVIDIA Alpamayo is credited to NVIDIA on the DEPLOY registry. Each developer attribution is verified via primary sources.

Yes. NVIDIA Alpamayo is recorded as open-source / open-weights on the DEPLOY registry, meaning model weights or source code are publicly available.

NVIDIA Alpamayo is a foundation model, built on a Reasoning-based vision language action (VLA) models with chain-of-thought architecture on the DEPLOY registry.

NVIDIA Alpamayo is at the pilot stage on the DEPLOY maturity ladder. Pilot stage means at least one named-customer trial deployment is verified.

No robot models on the DEPLOY registry are recorded as running NVIDIA Alpamayo. DEPLOY wires brain-to-model connections only when the wiring is verifiable from primary sources; absence may reflect pre-deployment or unverified manufacturer claims.
