๐Ÿš€ Cosmos 3 Has Arrived

Cosmos 3 is NVIDIA's next-generation foundation model platform for Physical AI. Compared with Cosmos-Predict1, Cosmos 3 delivers significantly stronger world prediction capabilities, producing more accurate, coherent, and physically grounded future-state predictions across a wide range of environments and embodiments.

Beyond improving prediction quality, Cosmos 3 unifies capabilities that previously required multiple specialized models. A single Cosmos 3 model can reason, predict future world states, transfer across domains and modalities, and generate actions and policies for embodied agents within one unified architecture.

This repository is no longer under active development and will receive only limited maintenance updates. Future model releases, features, documentation, and community support will be focused on Cosmos 3.

There you will find the latest Cosmos 3 models, technical reports, tutorials, benchmarks, and ecosystem updates.

Thank you for your support of Cosmos-Predict1. We encourage all users to migrate to Cosmos 3 for the latest state-of-the-art Physical AI capabilities.

Cosmos-Predict1 is a key branch of Cosmos World Foundation Models (WFMs) specialized for future state prediction, often referred to as world models. The tree main branches of Cosmos WFMs are cosmos-predict, cosmos-transfer, and cosmos-reason. We visualize the architecture of Cosmos-Predict1 in the following figure.

Cosmos-Predict1 Architecture Diagram

Cosmos-Predict1 includes the following:

  • Diffusion-based world foundation models for Text2World and Video2World generation, where a user can generate visual simulation based on text prompts and video prompts.
  • Autoregressive-based world foundation models for Video2World generation, where a user can generate visual simulation based on video prompts and optional text prompts.
  • Image and video tokenizers for tokenizing videos into continuous tokens (latent vectors) and discrete tokens (integers) efficiently and effectively.
  • Post-training scripts for helping Physical AI builders post-train pre-trained Cosmos-Predict1 for their applications.
