NVIDIA Alpamayo 2 Edge and AlpaJudge
NVIDIA Alpamayo 2 Edge is a 2B-parameter adaptive reasoning vision-language-action model for autonomous driving, built on the Nemotron-based backbone of Cosmos 3 Edge with a diffusion action expert. It generates Chain-of-Causation reasoning only when needed and runs at 160-190 ms pixel-to-trajectory latency on NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor with TensorRT optimisation. Closed-loop reinforcement learning in AlpaGym improves driving performance by 48.9% over the best checkpoint without it. The companion AlpaJudge model provides human-calibrated evaluation and reward scoring of reasoning traces, and both models are published on Hugging Face.
