The Cosmos Ecosystem and Where to Go Next

What you'll learn

You'll see the three places to look for Cosmos. The NGC catalog is where NVIDIA publishes packaged models and containers. The NIM for Cosmos documentation walks you through getting an API key, logging in to the container registry with Docker, pulling a container, and running it with GPU access. GitHub is where the open-source code lives, its online URL is github.com/NVIDIA/Cosmos, with the newer Cosmos 3 weights hosted on Hugging Face. The older per-model repositories are either in limited maintenance or archived, so you'll know which ones to skip for a new project.

You'll also learn what the Cosmos Coalition is, which companies are involved, and how NVIDIA has expanded it to Japan. The video explains what "open" means for Cosmos in practice: the licenses, the code, and where you can run it. It closes with a simple way to keep learning on your own.

After watching, you'll be able to:

• Name the main places to keep learning about NVIDIA Cosmos.
• Say what each main repository is for, and which older ones to avoid.
• Describe the role of the Cosmos Coalition.
• Outline the steps to pull and run a Cosmos NIM container, and what access you need.
• Pick a next step for your own learning.

Who it's for

Anyone learning Cosmos on their own. It's also handy if you work in infrastructure, AI/ML or technical leadership and want a short list of where the official Cosmos resources are located online.
