NVIDIA Calls Cosmos 3 The World’s First Fully Open Omnimodel, As Robots And Autonomous Vehicles Get A Powerful Brain Grounded In Physics

NVIDIA has just announced its Cosmos 3 world model at the ongoing GTC Taipei, giving us a glimpse at what it calls the world's first "fully open omnimodel" that is capable of vision-based reasoning, while supporting multimodal output in the form of text, image, video, and ambient sound.

NVIDIA's Cosmos 3 "pairs a reasoning transformer with an expert generation transformer," allowing the model to grasp physical interactions before generating video and action content that leverages those interactions

At its heart, the Cosmos


Intel’s 288-Core Clearwater Forest Xeon 6+ Lands on 18A, Claiming 30% Performance & 50% Efficiency Lead Over AMD’s 192-Core EPYC

Intel has finally launched its next-gen Xeon 6+ E-core CPU family codenamed Clearwater Forest, which packs 288 cores & is built on 18A.

Intel brought higher compute density and performance per watt gains with its last E-Core-only Xeon CPU offering, Sierra Forest . This was also the first time that Intel segmented its Xeon lineup into P-Core and E-Core only families.

Now, the journey continues with the 2nd Gen E-Core-only family codenamed Clearwater

A presentation slide introduces the Intel Xeon 6+ as the first 18A CPU in the data center, highlighting P-core and E-core performance, with three models: Intel Xeon 6 (Granite Rapids), Intel Xeon 6 (Sierra Forest), and Intel Xeon 6+ (Clearwater Forest).
