# TimeRewarder — MetaWorld checkpoints
Pretrained **TimeRewarder** checkpoints for 10 MetaWorld tasks, from the paper:
**[TimeRewarder: Learning Dense Reward from Passive Videos via Frame-wise Temporal Distance](https://arxiv.org/abs/2509.26627)**
Yuyang Liu\*, Chuan Wen\*, Yihang Hu, Dinesh Jayaraman, Yang Gao†
[🌐 Project Page](https://timerewarder.github.io/) · [📄 Paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2509.26627) · [💻 Code](https://github.com/CowAndSheep/TimeRewader) · [🤗 Demos](https://huggingface.co/datasets/CowAndSheep/timerewarder-demos)
TimeRewarder learns a dense reward from passive (action-free) videos by predicting the frame-wise temporal distance between frames; the per-frame progress prediction is used directly as the reward for downstream RL.
## Contents
One vision-only checkpoint per task (`<task>_20bins.pth`, 20 discrete progress bins):
`basketball`, `button-press-topdown`, `disassemble`, `door-open`, `drawer-open`, `lever-pull`, `plate-slide`, `stick-push`, `window-close`, `window-open`.
```bash
huggingface-cli download CowAndSheep/timerewarder --local-dir models/ckpt
```
Drop the `.pth` files into `models/ckpt/` and run the downstream RL as described in the [code repository](https://github.com/CowAndSheep/TimeRewader).
