π0 fast (PI0Fast) (LeRobot)

PI0Fast is a Vision-Language-Action (VLA) policy that predicts continuous robot actions via autoregressive next-token prediction over FAST action tokens.

Original authors / paper: FAST: Efficient Action Tokenization for Vision-Language-Action Models Implementation: This LeRobot implementation follows the original reference code for compatibility. Reference implementation: [https://github.com/Physical-Intelligence/openpi]

Model description

Inputs: images (multi-view), proprio/state, optional language instruction
Outputs: continuous actions (decoded from model outputs)
Training objective: next-token cross-entropy
Action representation: FAST tokens
Intended use: Fine tune on your task.

Quick start (inference on a real batch)

Installation

bash

pip install "lerobot[pi]@git+https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot.git"

For full installation details (including optional video dependencies such as ffmpeg for torchcodec), see the official documentation: https://huggingface.co/docs/lerobot/installation

Load model + dataset, run `select_action`

python

import torch
from lerobot.datasets.lerobot_dataset import LeRobotDataset
from lerobot.policies.factory import make_pre_post_processors

# Swap this import per-policy
from lerobot.policies.pi0_fast.modeling_pi0_fast import PI0FastPolicy

# load a policy
model_id = "lerobot/pi0fast-libero"  # <- swap checkpoint
device = torch.device("cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")

policy = PI0FastPolicy.from_pretrained(model_id).to(device).eval()

preprocess, postprocess = make_pre_post_processors(
    policy.config,
    model_id,
    preprocessor_overrides={"device_processor": {"device": str(device)}},
)
# load a lerobotdataset
dataset = LeRobotDataset("lerobot/libero")

# pick an episode
episode_index = 0

# each episode corresponds to a contiguous range of frame indices
from_idx = dataset.meta.episodes["dataset_from_index"][episode_index]
to_idx   = dataset.meta.episodes["dataset_to_index"][episode_index]

# get a single frame from that episode (e.g. the first frame)
frame_index = from_idx
frame = dict(dataset[frame_index])

batch = preprocess(frame)
with torch.inference_mode():
    pred_action = policy.select_action(batch)
    # use your policy postprocess, this post process the action
    # for instance unnormalize the actions, detokenize it etc..
    pred_action = postprocess(pred_action)

Training step (loss + backward)

If you’re training / fine-tuning, you typically call forward(...) to get a loss and then:

python

policy.train()
batch = dict(dataset[0])
batch = preprocess(batch)

loss, outputs = policy.forward(batch)
loss.backward()

Notes:

Some policies expose policy(**batch) or return a dict; keep this snippet aligned with the policy API.

Use your trainer script (lerobot-train) for full training loops.

How to train / fine-tune

bash

lerobot-train \
  --dataset.repo_id=HuggingFaceVLA/libero \
  --output_dir=./outputs/[RUN_NAME] \
  --job_name=[RUN_NAME] \
  --policy.repo_id=[THIS_REPO_OR_CHECKPOINT] \
  --policy.path=lerobot/[BASE_CHECKPOINT] \
  --policy.dtype=bfloat16 \
  --policy.device=cuda \
  --steps=100000 \
  --batch_size=4

Add policy-specific flags below:

-policy.chunk_size=...
-policy.n_action_steps=...
-policy.max_action_tokens=...
-policy.gradient_checkpointing=true

Evaluate in Simulation (LIBERO)

You can evaluate the model in Libero environment.

bash

lerobot-eval \
  --policy.path=lerobot/[CHECKPOINT_ID] \
  --env.type=libero \
  --env.task=libero_object \
  --eval.batch_size=1 \
  --eval.n_episodes=20

Real-World Inference & Evaluation

You can use the record script from lerobot-record with a policy checkpoint as input, to run inference and evaluate your policy.

For instance, run this command or API example to run inference and record 10 evaluation episodes:

lerobot-record  \
  --robot.type=so100_follower \
  --robot.port=/dev/ttyACM1 \
  --robot.cameras="{ up: {type: opencv, index_or_path: /dev/video10, width: 640, height: 480, fps: 30}, side: {type: intelrealsense, serial_number_or_name: 233522074606, width: 640, height: 480, fps: 30}}" \
  --robot.id=my_awesome_follower_arm \
  --display_data=false \
  --dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/eval_so100 \
  --dataset.single_task="Put lego brick into the transparent box" \
  # <- Teleop optional if you want to teleoperate in between episodes \
  # --teleop.type=so100_leader \
  # --teleop.port=/dev/ttyACM0 \
  # --teleop.id=my_awesome_leader_arm \
  --policy.path=${HF_USER}/my_policy
