This guide provides instructions on running post-training with Cosmos-Predict2 Text2Image models.
Before running training:
- Environment setup: Follow the Setup guide for installation instructions.
- Model checkpoints: Download required model weights following the Downloading Checkpoints section in the Setup guide.
- Hardware considerations: Review the Performance guide for GPU requirements and model selection recommendations.
The first step is downloading a dataset with videos.
You must provide a folder containing a collection of videos in MP4 format, preferably 720p. These videos should focus on the subject throughout the entire video so that each video chunk contains the subject.
You can use nvidia/Cosmos-NeMo-Assets for post-training.
mkdir -p datasets/cosmos_nemo_assets/
# This command will download the videos for physical AI
huggingface-cli download nvidia/Cosmos-NeMo-Assets --repo-type dataset --local-dir datasets/cosmos_nemo_assets/ --include "*.mp4*"
mv datasets/cosmos_nemo_assets/nemo_diffusion_example_data datasets/cosmos_nemo_assets/videosDataset folder format:
datasets/cosmos_nemo_assets/
├── videos/
│ ├── *.mp4
Cosmos-NeMo-Assets comes with a single caption for 4 long videos. In this example, we extract video frames and save as jpg files to prepare a dataset for text2image training.
PYTHONPATH=$(pwd) python scripts/extract_images_from_videos.py --input_dataset_dir datasets/cosmos_nemo_assets --output_dataset_dir datasets/cosmos_nemo_assets_images --stride 30Run the following command to pre-compute T5-XXL embeddings for the video caption used for post-training:
# The script will use the provided prompt, save the T5-XXL embeddings in pickle format.
PYTHONPATH=$(pwd) python scripts/get_t5_embeddings_from_cosmos_nemo_assets.py --dataset_path datasets/cosmos_nemo_assets_images --prompt "An image of sks teal robot." --is_imageDataset folder format:

Run the following command to execute an example post-training job with cosmos_nemo_assets_images data.
EXP=predict2_text2image_training_2b_cosmos_nemo_assets
torchrun --nproc_per_node=1 --master_port=12341 -m scripts.train --config=cosmos_predict2/configs/base/config.py -- experiment=${EXP}The model will be post-trained using the cosmos_nemo_assets dataset.
See the config predict2_text2image_training_2b_cosmos_nemo_assets defined in cosmos_predict2/configs/base/experiment/cosmos_nemo_assets.py to understand how the dataloader is defined.

Run the following command to execute an example post-training job with cosmos_nemo_assets_images data with 8 GPUs.
EXP=predict2_text2image_training_14b_cosmos_nemo_assets
torchrun --nproc_per_node=8 -m scripts.train --config=cosmos_predict2/configs/base/config.py -- experiment=${EXP}The above command will train the entire model. If you are interested in training with LoRA, attach model.config.train_architecture=lora to the training command.
The checkpoints will be saved in the below structure.

For example, if a posttrained checkpoint with 1000 iterations is to be used, run the following command.
Use --dit_path argument to specify the path to the post-trained checkpoint.
CUDA_HOME=$CONDA_PREFIX PYTHONPATH=$(pwd) python examples/text2image.py \
--model_size 2B \
--dit_path "checkpoints/posttraining/text2image/2b_cosmos_nemo_assets/checkpoints/model/iter_000001000.pt" \
--prompt "An image of sks teal robot." \
--save_path output/generated_image_2b_teal_robot.jpgTo load EMA weights from the post-trained checkpoint, add argument --load_ema.
CUDA_HOME=$CONDA_PREFIX PYTHONPATH=$(pwd) python examples/text2image.py \
--model_size 2B \
--dit_path "checkpoints/posttraining/text2image/2b_cosmos_nemo_assets/checkpoints/model/iter_000001000.pt" \
--prompt "An image of sks teal robot." \
--load_ema \
--save_path output/generated_image_2b_teal_robot_ema.jpgSee documentations/inference_text2image.md for inference run details.
The 14B model can be run similarly by changing the --model_size and --dit_path arguments.
