Probably, the most interesting part is the launch of Alpamayo, a new family of open-source AI models and tools designed to help autonomous vehicles reason through complex driving scenarios like a human would.
Key details:
-
Alpamayo 1 is a 10B-parameter "chain-of-thought" model that breaks down problems step-by-step to handle rare cases that fall outside of training data.
-
The model generates driving trajectories alongside reasoning traces, essentially explaining why it made each decision.
-
Jensen Huang called it the "ChatGPT moment for physical AI," when machines begin to reason and act in the real world.
-
Nvidia is also releasing AlpaSim, an open-source simulation framework, and 1,700+ hours of real-world driving data.
