Add model card and metadata for StableVLA
Browse filesThis PR adds a model card for StableVLA, a robust Vision-Language-Action model.
It includes:
- Metadata with the `robotics` pipeline tag.
- Links to the [ICML 2026 paper](https://huggingface.co/papers/2605.18287), the project page, and the GitHub repository.
- A description of the model and its Information Bottleneck Adapter (IB-Adapter).
- A usage section demonstrating how to download the model weights using `huggingface_hub` as specified in the official documentation.
- Citation information.

# StableVLA: Towards Robust Vision-Language-Action Models without Extra Data
|
| 12 |
+
|
| 13 |
+
StableVLA is a robust Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model designed to maintain performance when encountering unseen real-world visual disturbances. It introduces the **Information Bottleneck Adapter (IB-Adapter)**, a lightweight module grounded in information theory that selectively filters noise from visual inputs.

+
## Model Description
|
| 18 |
+
|
| 19 |
+
Current VLA models often suffer significant performance drops under visual disturbances not seen during training. StableVLA addresses this by integrating the IB-Adapter, which:
|
| 20 |
+
- **Filters Noise:** Selectively removes potential visual noise with negligible parameter overhead (<10M).
|
| 21 |
+
- **Improves Robustness:** Consistently improves over baselines by an average of 30% without extra training data or augmentations.
|
| 22 |
+
- **Efficiency:** Even with a 0.5B backbone, it achieves robustness competitive with 7B-scale state-of-the-art VLAs.

## Usage
|
| 25 |
+
|
| 26 |
+
You can download the model weights using the `huggingface_hub` library. Depending on your needs, you can download the full repository or specific task checkpoints (e.g., spatial, object, goal, or long).
|
| 27 |
+
|
| 28 |
+
```python
|
| 29 |
+
from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download
|
| 30 |
+
|
| 31 |
+
# Download everything
|
| 32 |
+
snapshot_download(repo_id="beikui12345/stablevla", local_dir="./hf_weights")
|
| 33 |
+
|
| 34 |
+
# Or download a specific task checkpoint (e.g., spatial)
|
| 35 |
+
snapshot_download(repo_id="beikui12345/stablevla", local_dir="outputs/spatial",
|
| 36 |
+
allow_patterns="spatial/*")
|
| 37 |
+
```
|
| 38 |
+
|
| 39 |
+
