Abstract:We present Cosmos 3, a collection of omnimodal world models built to handle and create language, image, video, audio, and action sequences all within one unified mixture-of-transformers framework. Thanks to its highly flexible input-output setup, Cosmos 3 brings together key modalities for Physical AI, essentially combining vision-language models, video generators, world simulators, and world-action models into a single system. Our results show that Cosmos 3 sets a new state-of-the-art across a wide range of understanding and generation tasks, proving that omnimodal world models serve as scalable, general-purpose backbones for embodied agents. At the time this technical report was released, our post-trained Cosmos 3 models were rated as the top open-source Text-to-Image and Image-to-Video models by Artificial Analysis, and the leading policy model by RoboArena. To support open research and faster adoption in Physical AI, we are sharing our code, model checkpoints, curated synthetic datasets, and evaluation benchmarks under the Linux Foundation’s OpenMDW-1.1 License at this https URL and this https URL.
