NVIDIA Cosmos

Cosmos is NVIDIA's World Foundation Model platform for physical AI. Cosmos models generate and reason about world states that can be useful for robotics, autonomous vehicles, and simulation workflows.

Cosmos3 Nano

Cosmos3 Nano is the generator variant used by this Preview API endpoint. It supports image and video generation from text, image or video conditioning, spatially controlled video transfer, and forward-dynamics, policy and inverse-dynamics action workflows. Media inputs undergo safety screening, and generated images and videos carry a SynthID watermark; numeric action arrays are not visually watermarked.

Risk Areas and Mitigations

World foundation models can produce unrealistic outputs, unsafe content, or biased artifacts reflected in their training data. Hosted Cosmos endpoints use guardrail systems to reduce unsafe input and output behavior. Users should still review generated outputs before using them in downstream systems.

Deployment

Cosmos3 Nano is hosted by NVIDIA in the API Catalog as a managed Preview API endpoint. NVIDIA manages infrastructure, model deployment, and service-level controls such as authentication, monitoring, and rate limiting.

Governing Terms

This trial service is governed by the NVIDIA API Trial Terms of Service. The published model license is OpenMDW-1.1. The downloadable NIM container has separate NGC governing terms, including the NVIDIA Software License Agreement and Product-Specific Terms for NVIDIA AI Products.
