Cosmos-1.0-Autoregressive: A Suite of Autoregressive-based World Foundation Models

Cosmos | Code | Paper

Model Overview

Description:

Cosmos World Foundation Models: A family of highly performant pre-trained world foundation models purpose-built for generating physics-aware videos and world states for physical AI development.

The Cosmos autoregressive models are a collection of pre-trained world foundation models that are ideal for predicting and rapidly generating video sequences from video or image inputs for physical AI. They can serve as the building block for various applications or research that are related to world generation. The models are ready for commercial use under NVIDIA Open Model license agreement.

Model Developer: NVIDIA

Model Versions

In Cosmos 1.0 release, the Cosmos Autoregressive WFM family includes the following models:

Failure Analysis

Our models now support video extension up to 33 frames. Starting from either a single image or a 9-frame video input, it can generate the remaining frames to reach the 33-frame length (generating 32 or 24 frames respectively).

We have evaluated all eight possible configurations (4 models × 2 vision input types: image or video) using 100 test videos from physical AI domains. Below are the failure rates for each configuration:

Model Image input Video input (9 frames)
Cosmos-1.0-Autoregressive-4B 15% 1%
Cosmos-1.0-Autoregressive-5B-Video2World 7% 2%
Cosmos-1.0-Autoregressive-12B 2% 1%
Cosmos-1.0-Autoregressive-13B-Video2World 3% 0%

We define failure cases as videos with severe distortions, such as:

  • Sudden appearance of large unexpected objects
  • Video degrading to a single solid color

Note that the following are not considered failures in our analysis:

  • Static video frames
  • Minor object distortions or artifacts

Ethical Considerations

NVIDIA believes Trustworthy AI is a shared responsibility and we have established policies and practices to enable development for a wide array of AI applications. When downloaded or used in accordance with our terms of service, developers should work with their internal model team to ensure this model meets requirements for the relevant industry and use case and addresses unforeseen product misuse.
