Key point

The family includes reference-based and reference-free variants released on Hugging Face under OpenMDW-1.1 and Apache 2.0 licenses.

Details

  • NVIDIA released AlpaJudge, a family of learned judge models for evaluating reasoning in autonomous driving.
  • The models are available on Hugging Face (nvidia/alpajudge) with weights under the OpenMDW-1.1 license and source code under Apache 2.0.
  • AlpaJudge-RB (reference-based) processes text inputs (question, reference answer, candidate answer) to output a single alignment probability between 0 and 1.
  • AlpaJudge-RF (reference-free) processes camera frames, ego vehicle meta-actions, and a candidate rationale to output five rubric probabilities and aggregated scores.

Model Variants

  • AlpaJudge-RB operates without images, relying solely on text alignment.
  • AlpaJudge-RF incorporates visual data from front-wide and front-tele cameras alongside vehicle action metadata.
