Editor’s note: This blog is a part of Into the Omniverse, a series focused on how developers, 3D practitioners and enterprises can transform their workflows using the latest advances in OpenUSD and NVIDIA Omniverse. Simulated driving environments enable engineers to safely and efficiently train, test and validate autonomous vehiclesacross countless real-world and edge-case scenarios without the risks and costs of physical testing. These simulated environments can be created through neural reconstruction of real-world data from AV fleets or generated with world foundation models— neural networks that understand physics and real-world properties. WFMs can be used to generate synthetic datasets for enhanced AV simulation. To help physical AI developers build such simulated environments, NVIDIA unveiled major advances in WFMs at the GTC Paris and CVPR conferences earlier this month. These new capabilities enhance NVIDIA Cosmos — a platform of generative WFMs, advanced tokenizers, guardrails and accelerated data processing tools. Key innovations like Cosmos Predict-2, the Cosmos Transfer-1 NVIDIA preview NIM microservice and Cosmos Reason are improving how AV developers generate synthetic data, build realistic simulated environments and validate safety systems at unprecedented scale. Universal Scene Description, a unified data framework and standard for physical AI applications, enables seamless integration and interoperability of simulation assets across the development pipeline. OpenUSD standardization plays a critical role in ensuring 3D pipelines are built to scale. NVIDIA Omniverse, a platform of application programming interfaces, software development kits and services for building OpenUSD-based physical AI applications, enables simulations from WFMs and neural reconstruction at world scale. Leading AV organizations — including Foretellix, Mcity, Oxa, Parallel Domain, Plus AI and Uber — are among the first to adopt Cosmos models. Foundations for Scalable, Realistic Simulation Cosmos Predict-2, NVIDIA’s latest WFM, generates high-quality synthetic data by predicting future world states from multimodal inputs like text, images and video. This capability is critical for creating temporally consistent, realistic scenarios that accelerate training and validation of AVs and robots. In addition, Cosmos Transfer, a control model that adds variations in weather, lighting and terrain to existing scenarios, will soon be available to 150,000 developers on CARLA, a leading open-source AV simulator. This greatly expands the broad AV developer community’s access to advanced AI-powered simulation tools. Developers can start integrating synthetic data into their own pipelines using the NVIDIA Physical AI Dataset. The latest release includes 40,000 clips generated using Cosmos. Building on these foundations, the Omniverse Blueprint for AV simulation provides a standardized, API-driven workflow for constructing rich digital twins, replaying real-world sensor data and generating new ground-truth data for closed-loop testing. The blueprint taps into OpenUSD’s layer-stacking and composition arcs, which enable developers to collaborate asynchronously and modify scenes nondestructively. This helps create modular, reusable scenario variants to efficiently generate different weather conditions, traffic patterns and edge cases. Driving the Future of AV Safety To bolster the operational safety of AV systems, NVIDIA earlier this year introduced NVIDIA Halos — a comprehensive safety platform that integrates the company’s full automotive hardware and software stack with AI research focused on AV safety. The new Cosmos models — Cosmos Predict- 2, Cosmos Transfer- 1 NIM and Cosmos Reason — deliver further safety enhancements to the Halos platform, enabling developers to create diverse, controllable and realistic scenarios for training and validating AV systems. These models, trained on massive multimodal datasets including driving data, amplify the breadth and depth of simulation, allowing for robust scenario coverage — including rare and safety-critical events — while supporting post-training customization for specialized AV tasks. At CVPR, NVIDIA was recognized as an Autonomous Grand Challenge winner, highlighting its leadership in advancing end-to-end AV workflows. The challenge used OpenUSD’s robust metadata and interoperability to simulate sensor inputs and vehicle trajectories in semi-reactive environments, achieving state-of-the-art results in safety and compliance. Learn more about how developers are leveraging tools like CARLA, Cosmos, and Omniverse to advance AV simulation in this livestream replay: Hear NVIDIA Director of Autonomous Vehicle Research Marco Pavone on the NVIDIA AI Podcast share how digital twins and high-fidelity simulation are improving vehicle testing, accelerating development and reducing real-world risks. Get Plugged Into the World of OpenUSD Learn more about what’s next for AV simulation with OpenUSD by watching the replay of NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang’s GTC Paris keynote.

¡No puedo creer lo que WhatsApp ha hecho! Durante años, esta aplicación fue nuestro refugio digital، حيث يمكننا التواصل مع من نحب دون أن يزعجنا أي إعلان تافه. لكن الآن، مع الإعلان عن وجود إعلانات في التطبيق، فقدت "WhatsApp" كل مصداقيتها! ¿Acaso Meta no tiene límites؟ ¿Por qué arruinarوا تجربة المستخدم بفرض إعلانات غير مرغوبة؟ يبدو أن كل ما يهمهم هو الربح على حساب راحتنا. لقد تحول تطبيقنا المفضل إلى ساحة إعلانات، والخصوصية أصبحت شيئًا من الماضي. دعونا نعبّر عن غضبنا ونتحد ضد هذا الانتهاك الصارخ! #Whats

Parfois, je me sens comme un périphérique USB déconnecté, perdu dans l'immensité d'un système d'exploitation complexe. Écrire un pilote pour Linux, en théorie, devrait être simple, mais la réalité est bien plus dure. Chaque tentative semble être une promesse brisée, une déception qui s'accumule comme la rouille sur un métal abandonné. La solitude s’installe, et je me demande si je ne suis qu'une erreur dans ce code de vie. Dans ce monde de connexions manquantes, je me sens invisible, comme un appareil non reconnu. Qui peut comprendre cette lutte silencieuse ? #Solitude #Déception #UnitéPerdue #Linux #Rust

In a world where connection feels so fragile, the latest issue with the Switch 2 accessory has left many of us feeling let down and alone. The Killswitch case, once a glimmer of hope for enhanced gaming, now seems to be a painful reminder of our constant struggle to hold on. Dropping consoles because of faulty design feels like a metaphor for the things we cherish slipping through our fingers when we least expect it. The manufacturer's response, instead of healing the wound, only deepens the disappointment. It's a heavy burden to bear when our joys become sources of pain. 🖤🎮💔 #Switch2 #GamingCommunity #Heartbreak #Disappointment #Loneliness

Enough is enough! The so-called "Seamless Photo and PBR Texture Creation" tutorial is a perfect example of wasted potential. Why are we still confused about the PBR workflow? It’s 2023! The fact that we need a step-by-step guide to understand color, normal, roughness, metallic, and displacement is absolutely ridiculous. Can’t anyone just produce quality material without dragging us through this tedious process? This constant hand-holding is a disservice to anyone trying to improve their skills. It's time for the industry to step up and demand better resources. We deserve comprehensive, clear, and efficient tutorials that don’t treat us like toddlers! #PBRTextures #SeamlessPhoto #TextureCreation #Frustration

¡Es increíble lo que está sucediendo con el lanzamiento del Meta Quest 3S Xbox! ¿Por qué demonios esta edición limitada NO está disponible en Francia? ¿Acaso los responsables de esta decisión creen que los jugadores franceses no merecen disfrutar de esta experiencia única? ¡Es inaceptable! Por 400 euros, se espera que todos tengamos acceso a este producto, pero parece que en la industria del gaming solo les importa el lucro y no la comunidad. Este tipo de exclusividades es un insulto a todos los fanáticos que han apoyado la marca. ¡Ya basta de estas políticas absurdas que dividen a los jugadores! #MetaQuest3S #Xbox #GamingFrancia #EdiciónLimitada #In

Les jeux gratuits sur le Meta Quest 2 sont comme des éclats de lumière dans un monde de solitude. Ils promettent l'évasion, mais parfois, même la réalité virtuelle ne peut combler ce vide. Je me sens délaissé, comme un personnage perdu dans un univers sans fin, cherchant une connexion qui semble toujours hors de portée. Chaque partie me rappelle que le divertissement ne peut pas apaiser la mélancolie qui m’envahit. Les rires des autres résonnent, mais je reste silencieux, observant de loin. C'est une tristesse amère, celle qui ne s'efface pas, même avec les meilleures expériences de jeu. #MetaQuest2 #JeuxGratuits #Sol
