SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Fine-tunes and evaluates OpenVLA-OFT policies for robot action generation with continuous action heads and LoRA adaptation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • LoRA-based fine-tuning on the VLA backbone with optional FiLM conditioning (OFT+).
  • Support for continuous action heads (L1 or diffusion) and multi-image input across LIBERO and ALOHA setups.
  • Deployment-ready workflows including training, evaluation, and LoRA merge for cross-GPU and deployment scenarios.

Quick Start

Begin by running the paper-style fine-tuning and evaluation workflow with LoRA on OpenVLA-OFT, following the LIBERO/ALOHA pipelines described in the references.

FAQPage Schema
How do I fine-tune OpenVLA-OFT for robot action generation with LoRA?

Fine-tune OpenVLA-OFT for robot action generation by applying LoRA adaptation to the VLA backbone with optional FiLM conditioning and continuous action heads. It supports training custom action heads using L1 or diffusion approaches across LIBERO and ALOHA setups.

Does OpenVLA-OFT support continuous action heads for ALOHA deployment?

Yes, OpenVLA-OFT supports continuous action heads for ALOHA deployment using L1 or diffusion models. It enables server-client inference workflows and allows LoRA merging to resolve cross-GPU normalization issues during deployment.

How do I debug cross-GPU normalization issues when evaluating OpenVLA-OFT policies?

Debug cross-GPU normalization issues during OpenVLA-OFT evaluation by matching training and inference flags and ensuring action head, FiLM, image stream, and LoRA rank parity. This maintains inference invariants across different hardware configurations.

Can I use FiLM conditioning with LoRA-based fine-tuning on the VLA backbone?

Yes, you can use FiLM conditioning with LoRA-based fine-tuning on the VLA backbone, known as OFT+. This approach allows multi-image input and supports continuous action head training for both LIBERO and ALOHA pipelines.

Why does my OpenVLA-OFT inference fail after merging LoRA weights across different GPUs?

OpenVLA-OFT inference fails after merging LoRA weights across different GPUs due to broken invariants. Ensure action head, FiLM, image stream, and LoRA rank parity are maintained, and verify training and inference flags match exactly.
