NVIDIA Cosmos-H-Dreams: Bringing Real-Time Generative Simulation to Surgical Robotics

NVIDIA releases Cosmos-H-Dreams, a distilled world model that runs action-conditioned surgical simulation at ~160 fps on a single GPU, along with FlashDreams inference engine and a recipe for adapting to custom embodiments.

Bringing Nunchaku 4-bit Diffusion Inference to Diffusers

Hugging Face integrates Nunchaku Lite into Diffusers, enabling native loading of SVDQuant W4A4 checkpoints via from_pretrained() with no local CUDA compilation. This cuts diffusion model VRAM usage roughly in half while also delivering inference speedups.

Introducing Cosmos 3 Edge

NVIDIA released Cosmos 3 Edge, a 4B-parameter open world model for robotics and vision AI on edge devices, now available on Hugging Face. The model combines autoregressive and diffusion transformer towers with a shared representation to handle scene understanding, prediction, and action generation in one package.

Fine-tune video and image models at scale with NVIDIA NeMo Automodel and 🤗 Diffusers

NVIDIA and Hugging Face announce a NeMo Automodel integration that lets you fine-tune Diffusers-format diffusion models — including FLUX, Wan 2.1/2.2, HunyuanVideo, and Qwen-Image — at scale without checkpoint conversion or model rewrites. Training parallelism is driven by YAML config, not code changes.

NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Embed Ranks #1 Overall on RTEB, Advancing Agentic Retrieval

NVIDIA released Nemotron 3 Embed, a family of three open embedding models (8B, 1B BF16, 1B NVFP4) for retrieval-augmented generation and agentic workflows. The 8B variant currently holds the #1 position on the RTEB leaderboard.

PRX Part 4: Our Data Strategy

Photoroom details the data pipeline behind PRX, their 7B image generation model, covering dataset assembly, captioning strategy, storage format choices (Lance + MDS), and measured tradeoffs like JPEG vs PNG training data.

🤗 Kernels: Major Updates

Hugging Face has redesigned its Kernels project with a new Hub repository type, a trust-based security model with code signing, cleaner CLI separation, and expanded framework support including Torch Stable ABI and Apache TVM FFI.

DiScoFormer: One transformer for density and score, across distributions

Allen AI introduces DiScoFormer, a single transformer that estimates both density and score of a distribution from a sample in one forward pass, without per-distribution retraining. It substantially outperforms kernel density estimation in high dimensions.

olmo-eval: An evaluation workbench for the model development loop

Allen AI released olmo-eval, an open-source evaluation workbench that extends OLMES to cover the iterative model development loop — not just final-model benchmarking. It emphasizes modularity, pairwise checkpoint comparison, and flexible sandboxing.

Can Voice Agents Handle Bilingual Customers? Benchmarking Frontier ASR on Code-Switched Speech

ServiceNow AI published a benchmark and dataset evaluating seven ASR models on code-switched (bilingual) speech across four language pairs, released through their AU-Harness evaluation tool. ElevenLabs Scribe V2, Gemini 3 Flash, and AssemblyAI Universal 3-Pro came out on top, while Whisper Large V3 Turbo performed poorly due to defaulting to translation mode on mixed-language audio.

Amazing Digital Dentures (a failed project)

A Hugging Face hackathon participant documents their failed attempt to build an LLM-powered game generator using Nemotron 30b, detailing the prompt engineering and RAG strategies that didn't work and the scaled-back HTML toy maker that did.

Thousand Token Wood: shipping a multi-agent economy on a 3B model

A Build Small Hackathon project runs five autonomous trading agents on Qwen2.5-3B via vLLM, demonstrating that a small model can reliably produce structured output for a multi-agent simulation while requiring heavy prompt engineering to compensate for weak reasoning.
