Update — August 25, 2026

The Cosmos3-Edge generator checkpoint, runtime defaults, usage examples, and benchmark results have been updated. If you pull from main, please refresh your local snapshot.

What changed

  • Checkpoint: updated Cosmos3-Edge generator weights.
  • Inference recipe (image-to-video): 480p generation at 832×480, 121 frames, 20 denoising steps, guidance scale 6.0, flow shift 12.0.
  • Usage examples: the Cosmos3-Edge cookbook section is now image-to-video only — the text-to-image and text-to-video Edge examples were removed from both the PyTorch/Diffusers and vLLM-Omni notebooks.
  • Benchmarks: refreshed PAIBench-G, RBench, PhysicsIQ, and throughput results.

Updated benchmark results (image-to-video, 480p / 24 fps)

Model PAIBench-G Overall ↑ Domain ↑ Quality ↑ RBench ↑ PhysicsIQ ↑ Throughput (frames/s) ↑
Cosmos3-Edge 81.1 84.2 78.1 55.1 34.1 6.71
Cosmos3-Nano 82.4 86.5 78.2 54.5 41.2 2.66
Cosmos-Predict2.5-2B 80.0 83.0 76.9 44.6 1.31

Throughput is frames generated per second, measured in eager mode on a single NVIDIA H100 GPU. Cosmos3-Edge delivers the highest generation throughput while staying competitive on quality.

How to refresh

huggingface-cli download nvidia/Cosmos3-Edge --local-dir ./Cosmos3-Edge
# or, if you track the repo with git:
git -C Cosmos3-Edge pull

Compatibility & reproducibility

  • Reproduce the image-to-video numbers with the updated recipe: 480p, 20 steps, guidance 6.0, flow shift 12.0.
  • The self-contained Edge image-to-video example lives in the audiovisual generator cookbook (run_with_diffusers.ipynb / run_with_vllm_omni.ipynb).
