RT by @NVIDIAAI: Introducing Alpamayo 2 Super: the frontier open reasoning VLA for autonomous…

TL;DR - NVIDIA announced Alpamayo 2 Super, a 34B-parameter open vision-language-action (VLA) model aimed at autonomous vehicles and robotaxis, released on Hugging Face under the permissive OpenMDW-1.1 license for commercial use. It signals a push toward open, reasoning-capable driving foundation models rather than closed proprietary AV stacks.

• Positioned as a "frontier open reasoning VLA": couples perception and language-style reasoning with action outputs for driving, at 34B parameters.
• Claims "full-surround awareness," implying multi-camera/360° sensor input rather than single forward-facing vision.
• Distributed via Hugging Face under OpenMDW-1.1, explicitly permitting commercial deployment — relevant for robotaxi and AV developers.
• Content is a launch announcement only; no benchmarks, latency figures, training data, or safety-validation results were provided.
