Nvidia's new data engine Flora labels one hour of robot video for 72 cents instead of $88 with GPT-6 Astra, while scoring slightly higher on quality. The open system, built on three fine-tuned Qwen3.5 models, catches errors in robot actions far more reliably than any competitor but sometimes falls short on descriptive accuracy. Nvidia is positioning Flora as a key piece of its strategy to control the entire robotics value chain.
