NVIDIA's Cosmos 3 lands at #1 among open weights models in both Text to Image and Image to Video on the Artificial Analysis Leaderboards! Cosmos 3 is a family of omnimodal world models for Physical AI from @nvidia, unifying language, image, video, audio and action in a single Mixture-of-Transformers architecture that pairs an autoregressive reasoner with a diffusion generator. The family comes in four variants: base Nano (16B: 8B reasoner tower + 8B generator tower) and Super (64B: 32B reasoner tower + 32B generator tower) models, with the Super model also having Text2Image and Image2Video fine-tuned variants, which are the versions listed in the Artificial Analysis Arena Leaderboards. Cosmos3-Super-Text2Image (agentic) runs through an agentic prompt-upsampling harness, and takes the #1 open weights spot in Text to Image, surpassing HiDream-O1-Image-Dev-2604, Alibaba's Qwen Image Max 2512 and Black Forest Labs' FLUX.2 [dev]. Cosmos3-Super-Image2Video takes #1 open weights in Image to Video (No Audio), ahead of Lightricks' LTX-2, and Alibaba's Wan 2.2 A14B. Cosmos 3 generators take structured JSON prompts rather than plain text, so prompt upsampling is needed to reproduce these results. This upsampling can be handled by an external harness or by the model's own reasoner branch, so it can also run self-contained. Cosmos 3 is fully open under the OpenMDW 1.1 license, shipping with weights, code, curated datasets and fine-tuning recipes available on @huggingface. First-party and third-party APIs are expected over the next few weeks, with pricing to follow. See the thread below for example generations and a link to try Cosmos 3 in our arena 🧵
