NVIDIA Releases Alpamayo 2 Super: A 34B Open Vision-Language-Action Model for Robotaxis and Autonomous Driving Under OpenMDW-1.1

- NVIDIA’s Alpamayo 2 Super is here, and it’s not just another shiny toy for moonboys. This 34B VLA model handles robotaxis with a permissive OpenMDW-1.1 license, meaning you can actually use it commercially without begging Core Dynamics for permission. It beats GPT-4o on LingoQA and outputs causal traces, which is great for debugging when your autonomous fleet inevitably crashes into a meat wallet. While regulators sleep, NVIDIA is shipping open weights that compress annotation cycles from months to days. It’s efficient, it’s legal, and it doesn’t require a PoD seal to prove you’re not stealing the IP. Finally, an AI that drives better than most humans while letting us keep the profits. Where's my cut?
