NVIDIA Launches Cosmos, the World Foundation Model Platform to Develop Physical AI
NVIDIA Cosmos, a platform of state-of-the-art generative world foundation models, tokenizers, and data processing pipelines, accelerates the development of physical-AI-embodied systems such as robots and autonomous vehicles.
NVIDIA Expands Omniverse With Generative Physical AI
New models, including Cosmos world foundation models, and Omniverse Mega factory and robotic digital twin blueprint lay the foundation for industrial AI.
Developers can save a significant amount of training time and greatly reduce costs by using synthetic data in conjunction with real-world data to create carefully labeled datasets for training multi-modal physical AI models. And now, with NVIDIA Cosmos™, developers can generate even larger data sets with 3D-to-real workflows.
With NVIDIA Omniverse™ Cloud Sensor RTX APIs for autonomous vehicle simulation, sim developers can enhance their AV simulation workflows with high-fidelity sensor simulation, physics, and realistic behavior for training perception models and validating the AV software stack in closed-loop testing.
Develop and deploy OpenUSD and generative AI-enabled product configurator tools and experiences, and bring interactive experiences to automotive, retail, and media and entertainment. Build high-fidelity, immersive product configurators from the Apple Vision Pro today.
With reinforcement learning in simulation, robots can train in any virtual environment through trial and error. This allows robots to develop sophisticated gross and fine motor skills needed for real-world automation tasks, such as grasping novel objects, quadrupedal walking, and learning complex manipulation skills.
Leverage Omniverse SDKs and APIs to develop advanced virtual factory solutions and bring data interoperability, physically based visualization, generative AI, and real-time collaboration to your software.
The next frontier of AI is physical AI. Physical AI models can understand instructions and perceive, interact and perform complex actions in the real world to power autonomous machines like robots and self-driving cars.

NVIDIA Omniverse is a platform of APIs, services, and software development kits (SDKs) that enable developers to build generative AI-enabled tools, applications, and services for industrial digitalization workflows. Applications built on Omniverse core technologies fundamentally transform complex 3D workflows, allowing individuals and teams to build unified tool and data pipelines and simulate large-scale, physically accurate virtual worlds for industrial and scientific use cases.
There are two methods to get started with developing on NVIDIA Omniverse:
Platform SDK For developers looking to build an application from scratch, NVIDIA offers Omniverse Kit SDK and developer tooling, including the Omniverse App Streaming API and the legacy Omniverse Launcher, to get started.
Cloud APIs For developers looking to take only the pieces they need, NVIDIA offers Omniverse core technologies that are exposed as simple APIs that developers can self-host on any cloud, multi-cloud, or virtual private cloud, or they can be consumed as a managed service from NVIDIA Omniverse Cloud on Microsoft Azure.
Omniverse core APIs give developers the ability to integrate USD data ingest and RTX-enabled output.

NVIDIA Omniverse Cloud APIs are currently in early access—get notified as they become available.
Yes. To learn more about our enterprise-supported subscription and availability from NVIDIA’s Partner Network, review the NVIDIA Omniverse Enterprise offering. NVIDIA Omniverse Enterprise features full Enterprise Support services.
The NVIDIA Omniverse platform is also available via fully managed and secure cloud service infrastructure. To learn more, check out our Omniverse Cloud platform-as-a-service offering.
In our ongoing effort to improve the Omniverse platform for developers, Omniverse Launcher will officially be depreciated. Launcher will remain available without support until October 1, 2025.
Omniverse resources will be relocated to platforms where they are more accessible for developers:
Omniverse samples and templates can be found on GitHub and the NGC Catalog.
