NVIDIA Launches Nemotron 3.5 Open Model Family, Cosmos World Models, and 13x Faster BioNeMo RFD4-Proteina
During the GTC Berlin keynote, NVIDIA unleashed a sweeping array of open-weights domain-specific foundation models. The release highlights include the multimodal Nemotron 3.5 Super VL, the lightweight Nemotron 3.5 Bolt series, and the end-to-end Nemotron Retriever suite for embedding, reranking, and document OCR. For physical AI, NVIDIA debuted the Cosmos world models and Alpamayo 2 Edge autonomous driving models. In life sciences, NVIDIA and the Baker Lab released BioNeMo RFD4-Proteina, which establishes state-of-the-art accuracy across more than 10 protein design benchmarks while synthesizing 200-amino-acid binders roughly 13x faster than RFdiffusion3.
