# Model Card for smolvla
<!-- Provide a quick summary of what the model is/does. -->
[SmolVLA](https://huggingface.co/papers/2506.01844) is a compact, efficient vision-language-action model that achieves competitive performance at reduced computational costs and can be deployed on consumer-grade hardware.
This policy has been trained and pushed to the Hub using [LeRobot](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot).
See the full documentation at [LeRobot Docs](https://huggingface.co/docs/lerobot/index).
---
Note: this model was migrated to support the new LeRobot preprocessing pipeline to ensure the pretrained SmolVLA model could be used for fine-tuning.
The specific command used to migrate the model was sourced from y1y2y3 at https://huggingface.co/lerobot/smolvla_base/discussions/12:
```bash
cd lerobot
python src/lerobot/processor/migrate_policy_normalization.py \
--pretrained_path lerobot/smolvla_base \
--output-dir ./test_smolvla_migration
```
The command used to upload the model to HuggingFace was:
```bash
huggingface-cli upload --repo-type model Alkatt/smolvla_base_migrated ./test_smolvla_migration
```

## How to Get Started with the Model
For a complete walkthrough, see the [training guide](https://huggingface.co/docs/lerobot/il_robots#train-a-policy).
Below is the short version on how to train and run inference/eval:
### Train from scratch
```bash
lerobot-train \
--dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/<dataset> \
--policy.type=act \
--output_dir=outputs/train/<desired_policy_repo_id> \
--job_name=lerobot_training \
--policy.device=cuda \
--policy.repo_id=${HF_USER}/<desired_policy_repo_id>
--wandb.enable=true
```
_Writes checkpoints to `outputs/train/<desired_policy_repo_id>/checkpoints/`._
### Evaluate the policy/run inference
```bash
lerobot-record \
--robot.type=so100_follower \
--dataset.repo_id=<hf_user>/eval_<dataset> \
--policy.path=<hf_user>/<desired_policy_repo_id> \
--episodes=10
```
Prefix the dataset repo with **eval\_** and supply `--policy.path` pointing to a local or hub checkpoint.
