What happened
NVIDIA has added four open-weight checkpoints to its Cosmos 3 model family for interactive world simulation and multi-sensor driving scenes. The 16B-parameter post-trained models cover multi-view driving data, streaming camera and LiDAR observations, simulator-control-to-video generation, and video prediction from robot or camera actions. They use OpenMDW1.1, which permits commercial and non-commercial use under its terms.
Why it matters
The four checkpoints show distinct ways to connect actions, simulator controls, and sensor inputs to generated observations, with details on adapting them for driving and robotics workflows.

NVIDIA added four open-weight checkpoints to its Cosmos 3 model family for interactive world simulation and multi-sensor driving scenes. The 16-billion-parameter post-trained models cover multi-view driving data, synchronized camera and LiDAR streams, video generation from simulator controls and text prompts, and video prediction from robot or camera actions. The checkpoints use the OpenMDW1.1 license, which permits commercial and non-commercial use under its terms.
