Cosmos-Reason2-32B — GGUF

GGUF conversion of nvidia/Cosmos-Reason2-32B, NVIDIA's open reasoning vision-language model for Physical AI and robotics — space, time, and physics understanding for embodied reasoning.

Built on Qwen3-VL-32B-Instruct and post-trained for video/image-grounded reasoning at FPS=4.

Licensed by NVIDIA Corporation under the NVIDIA Open Model License.

Quants

Quant Size Notes
Q2_K 12.3 GB Fits a 16 GB GPU — biggest size hit, still useful for reasoning
Q3_K_M 16.0 GB Sweet spot for 16-20 GB GPUs
Q4_K_M 19.8 GB Recommended default — fits a 24 GB GPU
Q5_K_M 23.2 GB Quality bump, needs 32 GB
Q6_K 26.9 GB Near-lossless
Q8_0 34.8 GB Reference quality

Plus mmproj-Cosmos-Reason2-32B.f16.gguf (1.2 GB) — the Qwen3-VL vision tower projector required for image and video input. Pair it with any of the quants above.

Quick start (llama.cpp — text only)

./build/bin/llama-cli \
    -m Cosmos-Reason2-32B.Q4_K_M.gguf \
    -p "Explain why a ball rolls down a slope, step by step." \
    -n 200 --temp 0.6

Quick start (llama.cpp — vision)

The mmproj projector enables image and video reasoning. Use llama-mtmd-cli:

./build/bin/llama-mtmd-cli \
    -m Cosmos-Reason2-32B.Q4_K_M.gguf \
    --mmproj mmproj-Cosmos-Reason2-32B.f16.gguf \
    --image path/to/image.jpg \
    -p "Describe what is happening in this scene and predict what comes next."

For video, pass an MP4 with --video. NVIDIA recommends FPS=4.

Quick start (Ollama)

hf download RhinoWithAcape/Cosmos-Reason2-32B-GGUF \
    Cosmos-Reason2-32B.Q4_K_M.gguf Modelfile --local-dir ./model
cd ./model
ollama create cosmos-reason2-32b:Q4_K_M -f Modelfile
ollama run cosmos-reason2-32b:Q4_K_M "Hello"

Note: at time of writing, Ollama vision support for the Qwen3-VL family lags llama.cpp. For full image/video reasoning, prefer llama-mtmd-cli with the mmproj file.

Conversion details

  • Source: nvidia/Cosmos-Reason2-32B (BF16 safetensors).
  • Tool: llama.cpp convert_hf_to_gguf.py with the Qwen3VLForConditionalGeneration text + mmproj split.
  • Chat template (tokenizer_config.json) is embedded in the GGUF — works with the standard <|im_start|> / <|im_end|> Qwen turn structure.
  • Native context length: 262 144 tokens. The Modelfile defaults to a conservative 8 192 — raise num_ctx if you have the VRAM.
  • Recommended sampling for reasoning: temperature ~ 0.6, top_p ~ 0.9.
