LeRobot/pi05_base: Vision-Language-Action Model for Open-World Generalization

lerobot/pi05_base

Summary

The π₀.₅ (Pi05) model is a Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model with open-world generalization capabilities, trained on robot demonstrations and large-scale multimodal data. It supports flow-matching for action prediction and is intended as a base model for fine-tuning on specific use cases. The model is available for inference and training with detailed instructions provided.

Editorial context

The π₀.₅ (Pi05) model is a Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model designed for open-world generalization from Physical Intelligence, trained on robot demonstrations and multimodal data. It supports flow-matching for action prediction but lacks some components from the original work, such as subtask prediction and reinforcement learning. The model is intended as a base for fine-tuning on specific use-c

Original source quotation: “Note: This model currently supports only the flow-matching action head for π₀.₅ training and inference. Other components from the original work (e.g., subtask prediction, action tokenization, or RL) were not released upstream and are not included here, though the LeRobot team is actively working to support them.”

Original source quotation: “Training step (loss + backward) If you’re training / fine-tuning, you typically call forward(...) to get a loss and then: policy.train() batch = dict (dataset[ 0 ]) batch = preprocess(batch) loss, outputs = policy.forward(batch) loss.backward()”

Original source quotation: “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.”
