The Cosmos Foundation Model platform advances Physical AI development through digital training, extensive data processing, and innovative simulation techniques.

The presentation introduces the Cosmos Foundation Model platform, aimed at enhancing the development of Physical AI, which necessitates interaction with the physical world. It emphasizes the crucial idea of training AI digitally using sophisticated models and simulations before deployment. This approach is designed to minimize risks of damage and financial loss caused by premature AI execution. The platform includes various features such as pre-trained models with extensive video data, post-training scripts that accommodate diverse sensor setups, and a robust video data curation pipeline to ensure high-quality training materials. Cosmos World is structured around three principal components: pre-trained models that leverage vast amounts of content from various domains, fine-tuning mechanisms for specific applications, and efficient data processing tools designed to manage large datasets. The presentation elaborates on the data curation pipeline, which meticulously selects and organizes video data to optimize the learning experience for physical AI systems. This process enhances the accuracy and capability of AI tools, enabling tasks ranging from driving to intricate object manipulation, all while ensuring a smooth interaction with the real world. Key components of the platform include the innovative Cosmos Predict, which helps simulate and predict future states based on current data, Cosmos Transfer that allows for domain adaptation, and Cosmos Reason that nurtures reasoning capabilities pertinent to physical AI interactions. The presentation emphasizes the goal of establishing a comprehensive environment where AI system developers can leverage pre-defined models and custom datasets, ultimately moving towards a more efficient, safe, and productive method of deploying AI in real-world applications.
