NVIDIA’s Cosmos-Framework Tutorial: Designing a Colab-Friendly Miniature of Cosmos 3 World Models with Omnimodal Mixture-of-Transformers

In this tutorial, we explore NVIDIA’s cosmos-framework from a practical Colab-friendly angle while staying honest about the hardware limits of running real Cosmos 3 checkpoints. We begin by checking the current runtime, GPU capabilities, CUDA availability, memory, and disk space to understand why full Cosmos 3 inference is not realistic on standard Colab hardware. Instead

NVIDIA Releases Audex (Nemotron-Labs-Audex-30B-A3B): A Unified Audio-Text LLM That Preserves the Text Intelligence of Its Backbone

NVIDIA has released Audex (Nemotron-Labs-Audex-30B-A3B), a unified audio-text large language model. It understands and generates both audio and speech. It also keeps the text intelligence of its backbone. The checkpoints, along with a smaller Audex-2B, are released under a noncommercial license. Most multimodal models pay a text tax. When labs add audio or vision output,

Liquid AI Open-Sources Antidoom: A Final Token Preference Optimization (FTPO) Method that Reduces Doom Loops in Reasoning Models

Liquid AI has released Antidoom, an open-source method that targets a common failure mode in reasoning models. That failure mode is the doom loop. In a doom loop, a model emits a span. It then repeats that span again and again. The output continues until the context window is exhausted. Small reasoning models are more
