NVIDIA today announced a significant expansion of the Alpamayo open platform for developing reasoning-based autonomous vehicles (AVs). Introduced at CES 2026 and expanded at GTC 2026, the Alpamayo open platform provides researchers and developers with a flexible, high-performance, and scalable suite of models, datasets, simulation, and training tools for developing and evaluating modern reasoning-based AV stacks in realistic closed-loop settings.

Since its launch, the Alpamayo open platform has seen rapid adoption across both industry and academia, with Alpamayo reasoning models collectively surpassing 400,000 downloads to date. The Alpamayo open platform has further been highlighted with a Computex 2026 Best Choice Award in the Vehicle Technology & Smart Cockpit category for pioneering open, reasoning-based AV development.
