"NVIDIA announced Alpamayo, a family of open-source reasoning models designed to guide autonomous vehicles through difficult driving situations. The centerpiece of the release is Alpamayo 1 , a 10-billion parameter chain-of-thought system NVIDIA says is capable of approaching driving more like a human being would. The model works by breaking down unexpected driving situations into a smaller set of problems before finding the safest path forward. At each step of the way, the model can explain its reasoning."
"NVIDIA first announced the GPU architecture in 2024, and now the company has begun production on a super computer that makes use of the new tech. One Vera CPU has 88 custom Olympus cores and 1.5TB of system memory for a total of 227 billion transistors. Meanwhile, one Rubin GPU features 336 billion transistors. Each Vera Rubin supercomputer has a pair of both components."
NVIDIA released Alpamayo, an open-source family of reasoning models for autonomous driving, with Alpamayo 1 a 10-billion parameter chain-of-thought system that breaks down unexpected driving situations and explains its reasoning. A sister model, AlpaSim, enables closed-loop training for rare driving scenarios. The 2025 Mercedes-Benz CLA will ship with NVIDIA's complete AV stack including Alpamayo. NVIDIA has begun production of the Vera Rubin supercomputer using the new Vera architecture. One Vera CPU contains 88 custom Olympus cores and 1.5TB memory (227 billion transistors) and one Rubin GPU contains 336 billion transistors; each system includes pairs of both components.
