Notes
- Key features
- Co-fine-tunes RT-2 on original VLM data and the OXE robot mix at about 1:1. Achieved about 3× RT-2's performance on emergent skill evaluations.
- Notes
- No RT-2-X checkpoint in README. The 5B variant is a new fact from verification notes. Institution attribution corrected. Parameters (B) is 55B.
