Running Cosmos 3 Robot Policies on a Single RTX 4090
How quantization, sampler tuning, and kernel work put NVIDIA's 16B Cosmos 3 robot policy on one 24 GB GPU — and turned the runtime into a parallel rollout engine.
Ph.D. Candidate, AIR, Tsinghua University
I am a 4th year Ph.D. candidate at AIR, THU, working on on-device AI (Ph.D. work overview) and embodied AI. Currently I am exploring efficient deployment of embodied foundation models (VLAs and WAMs), as well as self-evolving physical intelligence.
