Runway Joins Cosmos Coalition, Co-Developing Base Model With NVIDIA for Open World AI
9 articles · Updated · Runway · Jun 1
Runway said it has joined the Cosmos Coalition as a founding member and will co-develop the group’s first base model with NVIDIA.
The coalition brings together world-model builders, AI developers and physical AI companies around shared infrastructure intended to speed research, interoperability and open model development.
Runway framed the move as an extension of its generative video and world-model research, while NVIDIA said such models are becoming a foundation for physical AI systems that can reason, predict and act.
Hours earlier, NVIDIA open-sourced Cosmos 3—including 8B and 32B parameter models, training scripts and datasets—signaling a broader push to make physical AI development more open and reproducible.
Will NVIDIA’s AI 'data factories' make real-world experience obsolete for training robots and autonomous cars?
As AI learns from perfect synthetic worlds, how do we guarantee its safety in our messy, unpredictable reality?
NVIDIA Unveils Cosmos 3 Omnimodel and Datasets as Open Source, Accelerating Physical AI Innovation Across Industries
Overview
On June 1, 2026, NVIDIA announced Cosmos 3 as the world’s first fully open-source omnimodel for physical AI, along with its synthetic datasets. This unified model is designed to understand, reason, and generate complex physical interactions, making it valuable for robotics, autonomous vehicles, and smart spaces. To ensure reliability, NVIDIA also introduced Cosmos Human Evaluation (HUE), an open-source benchmark for assessing physical AI video generation. The release of Cosmos 3 and its datasets aims to accelerate innovation by providing high-quality data and tools, lowering barriers for developers and researchers to build advanced physical AI systems.
