We introduce Cosmos 3, a family of omnimodal world models designed to jointly process and generate language, image, video, audio, and action sequences within a unified mixture-of-transformers architecture. By supporting highly flexible input-output configurations, Cosmos 3 seamlessly unifies critical modalities for Physical AI -- effectively subsuming vision-language models, video generators, world simulators, and world-action models into a single framework. Our evaluation demonstrates that Cosmos 3 establishes a new state-of-the-art across a diverse suite of understanding and generation tasks, demonstrating omnimodal world models as scalable, general-purpose backbones for embodied agents. Our post-trained Cosmos 3 models were ranked as the best open-source Text-to-Image and Image-to-Video models by Artificial Analysis, and the best policy model by RoboArena at the time the technical report was written. To accelerate open research and deployment in Physical AI, we make our code, model checkpoints, curated synthetic datasets, and evaluation benchmark available under the Linux Foundation's OpenMDW-1.1 https://openmdw.ai/license/1-1/ License at https://github.com/nvidia/cosmos}{github.com/nvidia/cosmos and https://huggingface.co/collections/nvidia/cosmos3 .

Double-Deck Multi-Agent Pickup and Delivery (DD-MAPD) models the multi-robot shelf rearrangement problem in automated warehouses. MAPF-DECOMP is a recent framework that first computes collision-free shelf trajectories with a MAPF solver and then assigns agents to execute them. While efficient, it enforces strict trajectory dependencies, often leading to poor execution quality due to idle agents and unnecessary shelf switching. We introduce CREST, a new execution framework that achieves more continuous shelf carrying by proactively releasing trajectory constraints during execution. Experiments on diverse warehouse layouts show that CREST consistently outperforms MAPF-DECOMP, reducing metrics related to agent travel, makespan, and shelf switching by up to 40.5\%, 33.3\%, and 44.4\%, respectively, with even greater benefits under lift/place overhead. These results underscore the importance of execution-aware constraint release for scalable warehouse rearrangement. Code and data are available at https://github.com/ChristinaTan0704/CREST.
