Alpamayo 1.5 is built on the Cosmos-Reason2 VLM backbone, is RL post-trained, and introduces support for navigation guidance, flexible camera counts, and user question answering.
Alpamayo-1.5-10B Container Overview
Alpamayo-1.5-10B
Description:
This NIM container houses the Alpamayo 1.5 model, which is a significant update to NVIDIA’s open 10B-parameter chain-of-thought reasoning VLA model, designed to be an interactive and steerable reasoning engine for the AV community. Alpamayo 1.5 is built on the Cosmos-Reason2 VLM backbone, is RL post-trained, and introduces support for navigation guidance, flexible camera counts, and user question answering.
The container components are ready for commercial use.
