NVIDIA announced Monday that its Alpamayo 2 Super model for robotaxis and autonomous vehicles is now available for commercial use. The model is part of the Alpamayo family, described as the most-adopted open reasoning models for autonomous driving on Hugging Face.

Built on NVIDIA Cosmos 3 Super Reasoner and post-trained with reinforcement learning, Alpamayo 2 Super is released under the Linux Foundation's OpenMDW-1.1 license. The permissive license covers fine-tuning, derivative models and commercial redistribution, allowing developers to adapt the model to their own data and deployment strategies. Earlier Alpamayo releases were initially introduced for research and development; the OpenMDW license is now being applied across the entire family.

NVIDIA said Alpamayo 2 Super ranks first on the LingoQA autonomous driving reasoning benchmark among nearly 40 models evaluated. In internal testing using the Lingo-Judge metric, it outperformed Qwen2.5-VL 72B by 17.0 points, Gemini 2.5 Pro by 15.1 points and GPT-4o by 23.2 points. The model offers 3x the scale of the 10-billion-parameter Alpamayo 1.5 and Alpamayo 1 models and reasons over full-surround camera coverage.

For each driving situation, the model produces five outputs including a planned trajectory, a chain-of-causation reasoning trace, a meta-action, reasoning auto-labels and visual question answering responses with 2D visual grounding. The model family has surpassed 500,000 downloads on Hugging Face.
