NVIDIA Releases Alpamayo 2 Super: A 34B Open Vision-Language-Action Model for Robotaxis and Autonomous Driving Under OpenMDW-1.1

MarkTechPost 2 months ago 44 ● 2 sources

NVIDIA released Alpamayo 2 Super, a 34-billion-parameter vision-language-action model designed for autonomous driving that combines a language-reasoning backbone with a diffusion-based action decoder. The model achieved a LingoQA score of 79.2, outperforming nearly 40 competitors including GPT-4o by 23.2 points, and was trained on 115,000 hours of multi-camera driving video with 3.7 million causally-linked decision explanations. The weights are distributed under the permissive OpenMDW-1.1 license, allowing commercial deployment and redistribution without additional permission.

Trump’s AI testing plan is limited and vague

The Verge 2 months ago 14 ● 39 sources

The Trump administration's voluntary AI testing framework explicitly excludes open-source models and cannot restrict them after release, despite being created to assess cybersecurity risks from advanced AI. The framework was established following an executive order in June requesting companies share frontier models before release. This means a significant category of AI systems will lack federal security oversight under the initiative.
