A month ago @pravsels and I set out to reproduce @physical_int’s RL Token paper. Today, I am sharing our research notes from the journey we’ve been on. x.com/VilleKuosmanen…

"RL Token" looks like a great and surprisingly simple post-training methodology for optimising robot models for dexterous tasks in the real world! Over the next few weeks, me and @pravsels will be attempting to reproduce the results (& open source the code) Stay tuned 👀

After fixing a few bugs with inference code, I finally have a working pi0 set up! Fine-tuned overnight on single task data, it learns rough controls and no longer outputs unsafe actions. But mastering the task and form factor will require much more compute. Stay tuned!

I wrote a Manifesto for open-source robotics! If you are passionate about the topic or want to learn about the state of open-source in today's robotics and physical AI, give it a read 🧵

A few of you have asked me about my experience with pi0… I fine-tuned the model overnight on a 4090. It failed to learn anything useful and was just outputting non-compliant actions my safety system stopped from breaking the robot (pic related)

I rented an H100 and fine-tuned @physical_int ‘s pi0 overnight. We’re still far from fully utilising the potential of this model, but it produced my first successful rollout!

Pi0 with Gemma 3 chains of thought now working pretty reliably!

Do AI robots see the world like we do? I dove head first into latent space to uncover the attention maps that show how my robot sees and understands the world.

the reward function powering the reliable robot is also getting better - 100 likes and I will open-source it 😇

Another uncut video of robots manipulating objects - this time it only missed a grasp at the very end. One step closer towards a general method of optimising robot reliability - still a long way to go though!

A new AI model achieved my highest repeatability so far, at around 85% success rates. If the objects are at the centre and easily visible and reachable, this increases further

first rollout of a fine tuned robotics foundation model. significantly undertrained (probably less than 1% training steps the original paper took), will continue training but there’s limits to how far a commercial GPU takes you

Open-sourcing my reward model bolt-on for ACT! Using the code in the repo (which is @LeRobotHF compatible) you can train a simple reward model like the one in the demo with no changes needed to your existing LeRobot dataset & easy inference
