Nvidia releases Alpamayo 2 Super for commercial robotaxi development

Nvidia released Alpamayo 2 Super for commercial use Tuesday, giving automakers and autonomous vehicle developers access to its largest open reasoning model for robotaxis and self driving systems. The model is available through Hugging Face under the Linux Foundation’s OpenMDW 1.1 license, which allows fine tuning, derivative models and commercial redistribution. Nvidia said it is also applying the license across earlier models in the Alpamayo family, which were initially released for research and development. Alpamayo 2 Super is a 34 billion parameter vision language action model comprising a 32 billion parameter Cosmos 3 Super Reasoner backbone and a roughly 2.3 billion parameter diffusion based action component. The model was post trained using reinforcement learning and is approximately three times the size of Nvidia’s 10 billion parameter Alpamayo 1 and Alpamayo 1.5 models. The model processes video from cameras positioned around a vehicle, alongside navigation instructions and its recent movement history. Nvidia said the full surround setup gives the system access to front, side and rear views when assessing situations such as lane changes, merges, intersections and unprotecte...
