Nvidia Open‑Sources Flora Data Engine for Cheap Robot Video Labeling

Flora labels one hour of robot video for 72 cents versus $88 with GPT‑6 Astra, uses three fine‑tuned Qwen3.5 models, annotates up to 200,000 video hours daily on 512 GB300 GPUs, and is available on Hugging Face.

Benchmarks are the company's own; not independently verified.

Why it matters

Flora’s 72‑cent‑per‑hour cost enables new robot data pipelines; reassess pricing for video annotation services.
