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 diffusion models are a collection of diffusion based world foundation models that generate dynamic, high quality videos from text, image, or video inputs. It 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 Architecture:

Cosmos-1.0-Diffusion-7B-Video2World is a diffusion transformer model designed for video denoising in the latent space. The network is composed of interleaved self-attention, cross-attention and feedforward layers as its building blocks. The cross-attention layers allow the model to condition on input text throughout the denoising process. Before each layers, adaptive layer normalization is applied to embed the time information for denoising. When image or video is provided as input, their latent frames are concatenated with the generated frames along the temporal dimension. Augment noise is added to conditional latent frames to bridge the training and inference gap.

Input/Output Specifications

• Input

  • Input Type(s): Text+Image, Text+Video
  • Input Format(s):
    • Text: String
    • Image: jpg, png, jpeg, webp
    • Video: mp4
  • Input Parameters:
    • Text: One-dimensional (1D)
    • Image: Two-dimensional (2D)
    • Video: Three-dimensional (3D)
  • Other Properties Related to Input:
    • The input string should contain fewer than 300 words and should provide descriptive content for world generation, such as a scene description, key objects or characters, background, and any specific actions or motions to be depicted within the 5-second duration.
    • The input image should be of 1280x704 resolution.
    • The input video should be of 1280x704 resolution and 9 input frames.

• Output

  • Output Type(s): Video
  • Output Format(s): mp4
  • Output Parameters: Three-dimensional (3D)
  • Other Properties Related to Output: The generated video will be a 5-second clip with a resolution of 1280x704 pixels at 24 frames per second (fps). The content of the video will use the provided image as the first frame and visualize the input text description as a short animated scene, capturing the main elements mentioned in the input within the time constraints.
