The @nvidia Cosmos Cookoff is here - a 4-week physical AI challenge that could reshape how we approach autonomous systems, and for us it's especially exciting since our CPO and Co-Founder @eranshir is judging alongside experts from @DatatureAI , @huggingface, and @nvidia.
This isn't just another AI competition. With NVIDIA Cosmos Reason 2 and real-world validation requirements, teams will tackle the hardest problems in robotics and AV development - egocentric reasoning, traffic-aware models, and physical plausibility checks.
Eran brings a unique perspective: while others simulate edge cases, Nexar has captured them from 10B+ miles of real-world driving. That's the foundation serious AV development needs.
The industry is finally recognizing what forward-thinking leaders like Eran have advocated for years - simulated data isn't enough. Real roads demand real models.
Jan 29 - Feb 26. Solo or teams up to 4. $5K grand prize plus NVIDIA DGX Spark.

We’re excited to be part of the NVIDIA Cosmos Cookoff, alongside @nvidia , @huggingface, @nebiusai, and @getnexar
What stands out about Cosmos Reason 2 is its focus on physical AI - moving beyond static perception toward reasoning that accounts for real-world constraints, egocentric understanding, and physical plausibility.
This shift is clear - models must reason in environments governed by physics, not just pixels.
Looking forward to seeing what the community builds over the coming weeks! 🤖
We will also be releasing tutorials on how to leverage cookbooks and blueprints to swiftly build your projects leverage CR2!

Our latest blog post shows how to fine-tune Vision-Language Models for VQA - so models can answer image-based questions with accuracy & context, not just describe what they see.
Fine-tuning VLMs for VQA is not as simple as feeding models a bunch of image-question pairs. The real challenge lies in dataset preparation and system prompts.
Our guide walks through a practical use case: Fine-tuning Qwen 2.5-VL 7B to answer medical imaging questions using Datature Vi 🤖

If you are interested to train your own VLMs, we just launched Vi, a platform that handles annotation → fine-tuning → deployment.

CoT ≠ “just add <think> tags.” → CoT is neither a model class nor a reasoning guarantee.
It is an interface that:
• linearizes latent inference
• exposes intermediate decision variables
• reduces collapse into single-step heuristics
Correctness still depends on training signals.
Most vision-language models don’t fail because they can’t see. They fail because they don’t reason.
Our latest post breaks down Chain-of-Thought (CoT) for VLMs - how explicit reasoning improves grounding ↘
