TEL AVIV – Autobrains announced an expansion of its work with Nvidia on Tuesday, saying it is incorporating the reasoning capabilities of Nvidia’s Alpamayo 2 Super model into specialized software agents for autonomous driving.
In its November 10 company release, Autobrains said it distills intelligence from the 34-billion-parameter foundation model into smaller, scenario-specific “Driving Agents” designed to run in real time in vehicles.
The company says a context-aware orchestrator activates only the agents and skills needed for a particular driving situation. That approach is intended to avoid running the complete foundation model inside the vehicle while working within automotive computing, power, latency and cost limits.
Claims that the architecture reduces computing requirements while preserving task-level quality are Autobrains’ claims. The release did not provide independent benchmark results establishing the size of those efficiency gains.
“Autobrains’ Agentic AI transforms advanced reasoning capabilities into specialized Driving Agents optimized for real-time execution, while NVIDIA Alpamayo provides the foundational intelligence to understand and reason through complex driving situations,” Rishi Dhall, Nvidia’s vice president of automotive, said in the release.
Autobrains founder and chief executive Igal Raichelgauz said the combination changes how autonomous-driving systems can be developed. “Foundation AI can now reason through rare and complex scenarios, while Agentic AI distills that intelligence into specialized Driving Agents that run efficiently in the vehicle,” he said.
The company said Alpamayo can generate driving trajectories, causal reasoning traces and training signals for its “Learning by Thinking” process. Autobrains describes that process as a way to generate challenging scenarios, develop specialized agents and identify their weaknesses. Real-world data and validation remain essential, the release said.
The announcement builds on existing Level 4 programs involving VinFast in Southeast Asia and Autobrains’ previously announced work with Uber and Nvidia in Munich. According to the company, those programs use Nvidia Hyperion, a vehicle computing and sensor platform powered by DRIVE AGX Thor, alongside Nvidia’s Halos safety system.
Tuesday’s announcement concerns the expansion from vehicle-platform collaboration into driving-intelligence development. It did not announce a new city launch, a new customer contract or financial terms.
