Yesterday, we live demo-ed a “generalist” VLA for (I think) the first time ever to a broad audience @RoboticsSciSys. Bring any object. Ask anything. New environment, new instructions, no fine-tuning. Just impeccable vibes! ✨.

It's been a wonderful journey working on this and am really excited to see what the growing community of researchers and builders will make with this model. We will be doing *live demos all day* @RoboticsSciSys today in LA -- stop by our booth to interact with the model and test.

FSC is an effective way to guide data collection starting from scratch (e.g. Diffusion Policy) to SoTA VLAs (π0) — in both real & sim!. Open-source code coming soon!. Wonderful collab led by @LihanZha @ApurvaBadithela @allenzren @Majumdar_Ani & others. See Lihan's 🧵⤵️ for.

🗝️ Idea:.Start with a nominal dataset → vary one factor at a time → fit a power-law scaling curve to performance (real or proxy like embedding distance) → pick factor with max slope to collect next. Efficiently improve performance with just O(100) demos!
