- NitroGen is a vision-to-action model for playing video games from raw frames.
- Trained via large-scale imitation learning on human gameplay videos.
- Best suited for gamepad-controlled games like action, platformer, and racing genres.
- Less effective for mouse/keyboard-heavy games (e.g., RTS, MOBA).
- Developed by NVIDIA as a research model (NitroGen 1).
- Potential applications: next-gen game AI, automated QA, embodied AI research.
- Uses Vision Transformer (SigLip2) and Diffusion Transformer (DiT) architecture.
- Input: 256x256 RGB frames; Output: gamepad actions (21x16 vector).
- Trained on over 1B images and 10K–1M hours of video data.
- Supports NVIDIA Blackwell and Hopper hardware, Linux/Windows OS.
- Ethical considerations include bias, safety, and privacy (Model Card++).
