NVIDIA deployed Cosmos, an open-source platform of world foundation models that generates physics-based synthetic video data to help robotics companies and autonomous vehicle developers train their AI systems without needing as much real-world data collection. Cosmos launched at CES in January 2025 and was adopted by companies including Agility Robotics, Figure AI, Uber, and Waabi.
Details
Cosmos world foundation models are neural networks that accept text, image, video, or sensor data as input and generate photoreal, physics-aware synthetic videos of environments such as warehouses, factories, and road scenes. This synthetic data is used to train and evaluate AI models for robots and autonomous vehicles. Cosmos includes diffusion and autoregressive transformer models (ranging from 4 to 14 billion parameters), advanced video tokenizers, guardrails, and tools for fine-tuning on proprietary data. A major update in March 2025 added Cosmos Reason, a chain-of-thought reasoning model for understanding video data and predicting physical interactions.

Other practices by NVIDIA
Data AnalysisNVIDIA offers Morpheus, an open-source AI cybersecurity framework that allows enterprises and security vendors to build real-time pipelines for detecting threats such as anomalous user behavior, spear phishing emails, and sensitive data leakage across data center networks. Best Buy's CISO cited the framework as a foundation for ML-based anomaly detection at the April 2021 launch; Booz Allen Hamilton has built a product called Cyber Precog on top of Morpheus for use by its own customers.ProductivityNVIDIA offers NIM (NVIDIA Inference Microservices), a set of prepackaged AI model containers that let developers and enterprises deploy large language models and other AI models in minutes rather than weeks, across clouds, data centers, and local workstations. NIM became generally available to developers in June 2024.Creative GenNVIDIA offers Picasso, a cloud service that lets businesses build applications capable of generating images, videos, and 3D objects from text prompts using NVIDIA's Edify foundation models. Enterprise customers including Getty Images, Shutterstock, and Adobe have integrated these tools into their own creative platforms.
