SmolVLA is a compact, efficient Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model designed for affordable robotics, trainable on a single GPU and deployable on consumer hardware, while matching the performance of much larger VLAs through community-driven data. Original paper: (SmolVLA: A Vision-Language-Action Model for Affordable and Efficient Robotics)[https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.01844] For full installation details (including optional video dependencies such as ffmpeg for torchcodec), see the official documentation: https://huggingface.co/docs/lerobot/installation If you’re training / fine-tuning, you typically call forward(...) to get a loss and then: - -policy.chunksize=... - -policy.nactionsteps=...…

SmolVLA is a compact, efficient vision-language-action model that achieves competitive performance at reduced computational costs and can be deployed on consumer-grade hardware. This policy has been trained and pushed to the Hub using LeRobot. See the full documentation at LeRobot Docs. For a complete walkthrough, see the training guide. Below is the short version on how to train and run inference/eval: Writes checkpoints to outputs/train/ /checkpoints/. Prefix the dataset repo with eval\ and supply --policy.path pointing to a local or hub checkpoint.

SmolVLA is a compact, efficient vision-language-action model that achieves competitive performance at reduced computational costs and can be deployed on consumer-grade hardware. This policy has been trained and pushed to the Hub using LeRobot. Learn how to train and run it in the LeRobot smolvla guide, or browse the full documentation. The policy consumes these observation features and produces these action features. Inputs Outputs New to LeRobot? These guides cover the full workflow: - Install LeRobot — set up the lerobot package. - Hardware setup — assemble, wire, and calibrate your robot and cameras. - Record data & train a policy — the end-to-end imitation-learning walkthrough. - CLI…

lerobot/smolvlabase fine-tuned on Prashant-77/thaliall (1050 scripted-expert episodes, 7 skills, language-conditioned, 3 cameras). Camera keys are renamed at train and inference time: overhead → camera1, wrista → camera2, wristb → camera3 (--renamemap; runtime/executors.py applies the same map). Checkpoints in this repo. Root = 20 000 total steps. step14000/ = the best per-skill checkpoint (14 000 steps at batch 16 on a T4; the last 6 000 steps ran at batch 4 with a fresh optimizer on a smaller GPU and lost ground). Policy-only success per skill from task-consistent start states, 20 held-out seeds (eval/skilleval.py --kind smolvla): The scripted expert reaches 9/10 on the full task; the…
