Inside NVIDIA: What a world model actually is, and how it connects to the LLM you already use.

A conversation with NVIDIA’s Cosmos lead about the next expansion of AI: what world models do, how they connect to LLMs, and the strategic choices that matter as AI learns to act.

TL;DR

  • NVIDIA provides tools for developers, including hardware, libraries, and models, to build applications.
  • World models are a key focus for NVIDIA, aiming to simulate and predict actions in physical environments.
  • These models help developers program hardware and teach NVIDIA what future computers need.
  • Developers play a critical role in defining AI's capabilities and ensuring its safety, especially in physical applications.
  • World models expand what developers can achieve with AI, offering a broader understanding of its potential applications.
  • NVIDIA's Cosmos 3 consists of a reasoner and a generator.
  • Simulations, like those of kitchens, can accelerate development and comparison of possibilities.
  • AI should not be solely pictured as a text-generating box.
