NVIDIA has unveiled Cosmos 3, an omni-model designed for physical AI applications, integrating multiple capabilities into a single framework. This model, built on a Mixture-of-Transformers architecture, allows for seamless world generation, scene understanding, and policy generation. Cosmos 3 supports various modalities, including text, image, video, and action, enabling developers to simulate and understand complex physical environments. Available on Hugging Face, it offers two versions: Cosmos 3 Nano for efficient inference and Cosmos 3 Super for large-scale data generation. This release aims to streamline the development of AI systems in robotics, autonomous vehicles, and smart spaces.

This release quietly cements llama.cpp as the universal inference runtime by finally supporting NVIDIA's latest CUDA 13 stack alongside AMD's ROCm 10.0. The inclusion of native builds for Linux arm64 with Snapdragon chips, covering CPU, Adreno GPU, and Hexagon NPU, signals a serious push into mobile edge deployment. While Apple Silicon KleidiAI is disabled in this specific build, the broader hardware coverage means developers no longer need to compile from source for most modern accelerators. It’s less about new features and more about removing friction for anyone running local models on bleeding-edge or diverse hardware.

NVIDIA Launches Cosmos 3 for Physical AI
3 developments
Apple is finally unlocking its AI suite for Chinese users with the iOS 27.3 beta, marking a significant regulatory milestone after months of approval delays. The rollout relies on Alibaba’s Qwen model rather than OpenAI, integrating features like notification summaries and visual intelligence directly into the OS. By sidestepping the new Siri in favor of established text and image tools, Apple is prioritizing immediate utility over the full generative experience. This move effectively brings Apple’s AI capabilities to a massive new market, albeit with localized constraints that distinguish it from the global release.
