NVIDIA Flora vs GPT-6 Astra API: $0.72 vs $88 per hour of robot data
NVIDIA open-sourced Flora for robot data processing at $0.72 per hour versus $88 per hour with the GPT-6 Astra API, saving about $87M across a million hours.
Millions of hours of human experience data are being collected. But how do we turn all that raw footage into something models can actually learn from? NVIDIA just open-sourced Flora, a gold-mining tool for Physical AI. It automatically generates timestamped captions, process evaluations, and reward signals from robot data. Interestingly,the cost difference is very striking-- $0.72/hour vs. $88/hour for the GPT-6 Astra API. Processing 1 million hours would cost $720,000 with Flora, compared with $88 million using Astra. NVIDIA says its production system processes 200,000 hours of data per day on 512 GB300 GPUs.
