Nvidia unveiled Cosmos Reason 2 at CES 2026, the latest vision‑language model built for embodied reasoning in robots and autonomous systems. The model expands on its predecessor's two‑dimensional ontology, letting enterprises customize agents that can plan next actions in real‑world settings. Nvidia also refreshed Cosmos Transfer for realistic robot‑training simulations and added three Nemotron variants—Speech, RAG, and Safety—strengthening its open‑model ecosystem for physical AI. Together, these releases signal Nvidia’s push to dominate the emerging market for generalist‑specialist robotic agents.

I tend to view code as more of a liability than an asset. In this light, making it cheaper and faster to generate a lot of code might not be an unmitigated blessing.
Jensen Huang doesn’t care about Sam Altman’s AI hype fears: He thinks @OpenAI will be the first ‘multitrillion-dollar hyperscale company’ https://t.co/ZWYGmlI8l9 @nvidia @sama #AI #IoT #5G #AgenticAI #CES2026 https://t.co/QopF9xRbj8
GenAI will not replace human ingenuity. It will simply raise the floor for mediocrity so high that being "pretty good" becomes economically worthless.
AI isn’t magic. It’s a process. 8 steps: 👉define problem 👉collect/prepare data 👉choose model 👉train 👉evaluate 👉fine-tune 👉deploy 👉ensure ethics & safety Real value comes from running this loop well. #AI #MachineLearning #DataScience #ResponsibleAI https://t.co/5w11ldKd6Q
