NVIDIA’S NEW AI MODELS
While Geoffery Hinton would have started it alone, and there were visibly not many takers in the beginning, yet lots of background hard work transpired with perseverance in the world of AI. From IBM Watson to DeepMind and to AlphaZero and AlphaGo, the relentless work went on. The creation of OpenAI and its initial foundational research, the GPT creation came into being and an application of the GPT3; ChatGPT, told the world that Artificial Intelligence has arrived towards the end of 2022. Simultaneously, Nvidia was progressively making exponential tech transformation in its products. The company designs and supplies graphics processing units (GPUs), artificial intelligence (AI) hardware and software and much more.
While there are lots of players in top league AI clubs, the ones to watch are Sam Altman, CEO, OpenAI and Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang. Nvidia’s financial progress more than matches its technological prowess; it sustains the AI revolution. Nvidia crossed the $3 trillion mark at an astonishing pace and has also touched the mark of being the world’s most valued company. Nvidia’s CEO’s keynote address was a much awaited one at CES2025 and as expected he provided glimpses of the current state and the road ahead for AI, basing on Nvidia’s accomplishments.
Jensen Huang talked about Cosmos, the company’s new AI models, Cosmos, which can be used to train humanoids and self-driving cars.What does Cosmos signify for AI? Through Cosmos launch, Nvidia takes AI to the next level. This is termed as its latest family of foundational models. What is it designed for? It has been specifically designed to teach robots and machines how to interact with the physical world. Astonishing as it may sound, Cosmos has been trained on 20 million hours of real footage. Cosmos in a way is beyond the LLMs focusing on visual and the physical realm.
Focusing on physical activities, it is about teaching the AI to understand the physical world. Showcasing Cosmos in action, a simulated environment was also shown. Being provided with a platform AI tech, companies can fine tune Cosmos using their proprietary data to their specific requirements. It can be used across the board, its applications vast, novel, pioneering and fascinating; from industrial robots to humanoids to self-driving cars. The impact of Comos is already being felt across industries; Agility Robotics, Figure AI to self driving car companies such as Uber, Waabi and Wayve. The real icing on the cake is that to supplement Cosmos, Nvidia also unveiled an upgrade to its Isaac robot simulation platform.
AI IS ALL SET TO BREAK THE PHYSICAL BARRIER TOO.
