Cosmos 3

NVIDIA Cosmos 3 is a unified world foundation model (WFM) for Physical AI — a single omni-model that combines world generation, physical reasoning, and action generation. It replaces the separate Predict, Reason, and Transfer models from earlier Cosmos releases: whether you're building for robotics, autonomous vehicles, or smart spaces, Cosmos 3 gives you one foundation to simulate and understand the physical world.

What's shipping with this release:

  • Models on the Hugging Face Hub with model cards and licensing
  • Cosmos 3 Diffusers integration for generation pipelines (this page)
  • Post-training scripts for fine-tuning Cosmos 3 on your own data
  • Open synthetic data generation (SDG) datasets for Physical AI

What's new in Cosmos 3

The biggest change from previous Cosmos releases is that Cosmos 3 is an omni-model, built on a Mixture-of-Transformers (MoT) architecture. Previously, developers worked with separate models for world generation (Predict), controlled generation (Transfer), scene understanding (Reason), and action-policy generation. Cosmos 3 unifies all of these in one model that reasons and generates across modalities in a single forward pass.

From one model you can:

  • Generate physically plausible video worlds from text, images, or action inputs (image-to-video, text-to-video, action-conditioned video generation).
  • Reason about physical properties like motion, causality, and spatial relationships.
  • Predict future video and action sequences from the current state.
  • Transfer scenes across viewpoints and conditions with structural control (coming soon).

Under the hood, a single Cosmos3OmniTransformer runs a Qwen-style language model in parallel with a diffusion generation pathway: text tokens flow through a causal "understanding" stream while video and sound latents flow through a bi-directionally-attended "generation" stream, joined by a 3D multimodal RoPE. See the Cosmos World Foundation Model Platform paper for the architectural background.

Available checkpoints

Two checkpoints are released on the Hub — nvidia/Cosmos3-Nano (smaller, faster) and nvidia/Cosmos3-Super (larger, higher quality). The same pipeline class supports text-to-image, text-to-video, image-to-video, and (with a sound-capable checkpoint) text+image-to-video-with-sound — pick a repo and use the per-model tab in each workflow below.

[!TIP] Make sure to check out the Schedulers guide to learn how to explore the tradeoff between scheduler speed and quality, and see the reuse components across pipelines section to learn how to efficiently load the same components into multiple pipelines.

Prompt upsampling

Cosmos 3 was trained on long, highly descriptive captions. For optimal quality, short text prompts should be upsampled into a specific JSON structure before they are passed to the pipeline. The upsampler lives in the cosmos-framework package.

Start from a short, plain-text prompt and save it to assets/prompt.txt. For the text-to-video example below, the original prompt is "A robotic arm is cleaning a plate in a kitchen":

bash
mkdir -p assets
echo "A robotic arm is cleaning a plate in a kitchen" > assets/prompt.txt

Then install the framework and run the upsampler. The example below upsamples for text-to-video using Opus-4.6:

bash
git clone https://github.com/NVIDIA/cosmos-framework.git packages/cosmos-framework
pip install -e packages/cosmos-framework

export PROMPT_UPSAMPLER_ENDPOINT_URL="https://api.anthropic.com/v1/"
export PROMPT_UPSAMPLER_MODEL_NAME="claude-opus-4-6"
export PROMPT_UPSAMPLER_API_TOKEN="<your_token>"

python -m cosmos_framework.inference.prompt_upsampling \
    --input assets/prompt.txt \
    --output assets/example_t2v_prompt.json \
    --mode text2video \
    --endpoint-url "${PROMPT_UPSAMPLER_ENDPOINT_URL}" \
    --model "${PROMPT_UPSAMPLER_MODEL_NAME}" \
    --api-token "${PROMPT_UPSAMPLER_API_TOKEN}" \
    --resolution 720 \
    --aspect-ratio "16,9"

Switch --mode to match the workflow you are targeting (text2image, text2video, image2video). The command writes the upsampled prompt(s) to the --output file as a JSON array (one object per non-empty line in --input); pass a .jsonl path instead to get one JSON object per line. For image2video, you must also supply the conditioning image via --image-url (a URL or local path) or --image-list (one image per prompt).

<!-- TODO: Add prompt upsampling support for video inputs (video-to-video) to the upsampler CLI. -->

A pre-upsampled positive prompt (assets/example_t2v_prompt.json) and negative prompt (assets/negative_prompt.json) are provided for convenience, and are used by the generation examples below. The examples load these JSON files and pass them to the pipeline as JSON strings via json.dumps(...).

Text-to-video

Multi-frame generation conditioned on text alone. Pick num_frames based on the target duration — the default num_frames=189 produces ≈ 7.9 s at 24 FPS. The prompt and negative prompt are read from the JSON-upsampled files described in Prompt upsampling.

Video-to-video

Pass a conditioning clip via video= (e.g. from load_video). The pipeline anchors the leading latent frames given by condition_frame_indexes_vision (default [0, 1]) to the clip and denoises the rest. Use condition_video_keep ("first" or "last") to choose which end of a longer source clip the conditioning frames are taken from. As with the other modes, the prompt should follow the descriptive JSON structure described in Prompt upsampling.

Action-conditioned generation

Action runs group every action-specific input into a [CosmosActionCondition] passed via the action argument instead of the top-level image / video / height / width arguments. Set resolution_tier (256/480/704/720) close to the input video's native resolution; it selects the conditioning canvas. Cosmos 3 supports three action modes — policy, forward_dynamics, and inverse_dynamics. policy and forward_dynamics condition only on the first frame (so an image or a video both work), while inverse_dynamics requires a video. The conditioning video for an action run is set on action.video (or action.image), not on the pipeline's top-level video argument.

Pass a plain task description as prompt and pick the camera with action.view_point (default "ego_view"; also "third_person_view", "wrist_view", "concat_view"). The pipeline turns these into the structured JSON caption the model was trained on, so action prompts should not be LLM-upsampled.

Action policy

Action policy generation predicts future video and action tokens from the first observation frame, text prompt, and action domain metadata. The example below uses the Bridge robot domain and writes the predicted action chunk to JSON in model-normalized action space.

Metadata templates

tokenize_prompt appends short metadata sentences inside the user message so the LLM sees the conditioning the model was trained with. The positive prompt gets sentences like "The video is 7.9 seconds long and is of 24 FPS." and "This video is of 720x1280 resolution."; the negative prompt gets the inverse ("… is not …").

Both are on by default. Disable either pair through __call__:

python

    add_resolution_template=False,  # skip the resolution sentence on both prompts
)

add_duration_template has no effect when num_frames == 1 (image mode); only the resolution sentence is appended in that case.

Safety checker

Cosmos3 wires up the cosmos_guardrail CosmosSafetyChecker and runs it by default. The text guardrail rejects unsafe prompts before generation (ValueError); the video guardrail runs on the decoded frames and either pixelates detected faces or rejects the output. Audio output is not guardrailed.

Install the optional dependency to enable the default checker:

pip install cosmos_guardrail

The checker is mandatory under the NVIDIA Open Model License Agreement. The two flags below exist for tests and development workflows where the guardrail would be redundant (e.g., the input has already been cleared, or you are intentionally exercising the pipeline on edge inputs).

Disable at construction (no checker is instantiated, so no guardrail models are downloaded or loaded into memory):

python
import torch
from diffusers import Cosmos3OmniPipeline

pipe = Cosmos3OmniPipeline.from_pretrained(
    "nvidia/Cosmos3-Nano",
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    device_map="cuda",
    enable_safety_checker=False,
)

Disable for a single call (checker stays loaded — useful for one-off bypass while keeping the default on for subsequent calls):

python
result = pipe(
    prompt=prompt,
    num_frames=189,
    height=720,
    width=1280,
    fps=24.0,
    enable_safety_check=False,
)

To supply a custom checker (e.g., a no-op subclass for fast tests), pass it as safety_checker=:

python
pipe = Cosmos3OmniPipeline.from_pretrained(
    "nvidia/Cosmos3-Nano",
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    device_map="cuda",
    safety_checker=MyCustomSafetyChecker(),
)
