""" Edge device / CPU inference for OpenVLA-Micro. This script is optimized for resource-constrained environments. Two modes: 1. Standard CPU – float32, ~3-5 sec/step on modern x86, ~6GB RAM 2. Low-RAM (4-bit) – uses bitsandbytes 4-bit quantization, ~2.5GB RAM, slightly slower but usable on 4GB devices like RPi 5 with sufficient swap. Usage: python inference_cpu.py --image demo.jpg "pick up the red block" python inference_cpu.py --low-ram --image demo.jpg "pick up the red block" python inference_cpu.py --checkpoint ./openvla-micro-distill.pt --image demo.jpg "pick up the red block" """ import argparse from PIL import Image from modeling_openvla_micro import OpenVLAMicro def main(): parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description="OpenVLA-Micro CPU/edge inference") parser.add_argument("--checkpoint", type=str, default="theguy21/openvla-micro", help="HF repo ID or local .pt path") parser.add_argument("--image", type=str, required=True, help="Input image path") parser.add_argument("--low-ram", action="store_true", help="4-bit quantized LLM (~2.5GB peak, requires bitsandbytes)") parser.add_argument("instruction", type=str, nargs="?", default="pick up the red block", help="Task instruction (positional, optional)") args = parser.parse_args() device = "cpu" llm_kwargs = {} if args.low_ram: print("Low-RAM mode: 4-bit quantization (requires bitsandbytes)") llm_kwargs = { "load_in_4bit": True, "bnb_4bit_compute_dtype": "float32", "bnb_4bit_use_double_quant": True, } else: print("Standard CPU mode: float32 (~6GB RAM)") llm_kwargs["torch_dtype"] = "float32" print(f"Loading OpenVLA-Micro from {args.checkpoint} on CPU...") model = OpenVLAMicro.from_pretrained(args.checkpoint, device=device, llm_kwargs=llm_kwargs) model.eval() n_params = sum(p.numel() for p in model.parameters()) / 1e6 print(f"Model loaded ({n_params:.0f}M params)") image = Image.open(args.image).convert("RGB") print(f"Image: {image.size}") print(f"Instruction: {args.instruction}") action = model.predict_action(image, args.instruction) print(f"Action (7-DoF): {action}") if __name__ == "__main__": main()
