Proud to see our work shared by Jensen! Training a 32B model for physical AI is not easy. I learned a lot throughout the journey, and I'm thrilled we made it happen. More iteration are ahead as we continue building stronger, more capable open-sourced physical AI models.

Today, we’re launching Alpamayo 2 Super, our frontier open reasoning model for autonomous vehicles. Beyond seeing, Alpamayo understands and reasons through the complex world - thinks before it acts. It’s a powerful backbone for robotaxis, trucks, shuttles, delivery vans,

We’ve just released @nvidia #DRIVE Alpamayo-R1 (AR1) — the world’s first industry-scale open #reasoning #VLA model for autonomous-vehicle (AV) research. AR1 integrates Chain-of-Causation reasoning with trajectory planning to improve decision-making in complex driving scenarios.
