In this tutorial, we explore NVIDIA’s cosmos-framework from a practical Colab angle while staying honest about the hardware needed for real Cosmos 3 checkpoints. We probe the runtime, then use the framework’s real structure, CLI surface, and input schema as a foundation. We build and train a compact omnimodal Mixture-of-Transformers that shares cross-modal attention while routing each modality to its own expert. Using synthetic physical-world data and an autoregressive rollout, we show how the model predicts future latent states across text, vision, and action.

Liquid AI released Antidoom, an open-source method that targets doom loops in reasoning models. A doom loop repeats a span until the context window is exhausted. Antidoom finds the token that starts the loop and retrains only that position using Final Token Preference Optimization (FTPO). On LFM2.5-2.6B, doom-loop rates fell from 10.2% to 1.4%; on Qwen3.5-4B, from 22.9% to 1%. Generation, detection, and the FTPO trainer are open source.
