# NVIDIA Cosmos: robot world model

[NVIDIA](/companies/nvidia.md)'s open world foundation model for physical AI. Cosmos 3 (launched May 2026 at GTC Taipei) uses a mixture-of-transformers architecture combining vision reasoning, world generation, and action prediction. The world's first fully open omnimodel — natively understands and generates text, image, video, ambient sound, and actions. Variants: Cosmos 3 Super (highest accuracy), Cosmos 3 Nano (fast), Cosmos 3 Edge (4B params, on-device). #1 on Artificial Analysis, Physics-IQ, PAI-Bench, R-Bench, RoboArena, VANTAGE-Bench.

### Who developed NVIDIA Cosmos?

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

### Is NVIDIA Cosmos open source?

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

### What type of AI is NVIDIA Cosmos?

NVIDIA Cosmos is a world model, built on a Transformer-based world model with text-to-world and video-to-world prediction. Cosmos-3 Edge runs on single H200 GPU. architecture on the DEPLOY registry.

### What is NVIDIA Cosmos's maturity stage?

NVIDIA Cosmos is at the commercial stage on the DEPLOY maturity ladder. Commercial stage means production-grade deployments are operating at named customer sites.

### Which robots run on NVIDIA Cosmos?

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