How Do You Teach an AI Model to Reason? With Humans
NVIDIA, Wednesday, August 27th, 2025
NVIDIA's data factory team creates the foundation for AI models like Cosmos Reason, which today topped the physical reasoning leaderboard on Hugging Face.
AI models are advancing at a rapid rate and scale.
But what might they lack that (most) humans don't? Common sense: an understanding, developed through real-world experiences, that birds can't fly backwards, mirrors are reflective and ice melts into water.
While such principles seem obvious to humans, they must be taught to AI models tasked with accurately answering complex questions and navigating unpredictable physical environments, such as industrial warehouses or roads.
NVIDIA is tackling this challenge by developing a set of tests to coach AI models on the limitations of the physical world. In other words, to teach AI common sense.
