Catalogue identity notes

NVIDIA Cosmos-Predict2.5 2B world foundation model (one checkpoint covering Text2World / Image2World / Video2World), released 6 Oct 2025 (cosmos-predict2.5 README news). HF repo nvidia/Cosmos-Predict2.5-2B pinned 85f8ae7 (gated, automatic approval; licence 'other' = NVIDIA Open Model License). PAI-Bench Table 12 pins the checkpoint as Version 'base/post-trained' (the repo's base/post-trained folder) at 93 frames, 16 fps, 1280x704; PhyGround Appendix lists 'Cosmos-Predict2.5-2B' (93 frames, 16 fps, 1280x704, 36 steps) as its 'Cosmos-2B' row; the Cosmos 3 report (NVIDIA) runs it as 'Cosmos-Predict2.5-2B' on Cosmos HUE. Comparison-only: no local command was verified in this pass (the official route is the cosmos-predict2.5 repo or the diffusers Cosmos2_5_PredictBasePipeline). Distinct from cosmos3-nano / cosmos3-super and the older cosmos-1-0-* entries. Not mapped: Rapidata 'Cosmos Predict 2.5' rows (size not stated).

Each result implies a score on its own, after adjusting for how hard its test is and who ran it. The score is their weighted average, with a small pull toward the middle for thinly tested models. Each test's weight is its counts column above; here it's added up by who ran the tests. How it works
