Changes

The K-Scale OpenVLA adaptation by [[Userhttps:Pawel]//github.com/TRI-ML/prismatic-vlms Prismatic VLM] is the project upon which OpenVLA is based. The generate.py REPL script is available in the OpenVLA repo as well but is essentially using Prismatic models. is at Note that the Prismatic models generate natural language whereas OpenVLA models were trained to generate robot actions. (see this https://github.com/kscalelabsopenvla/openvla /issues/5).

Of note, the K-Scale OpenVLA adaptation by [[User:Paweł]] is at https://github.com/kscalelabs/openvla  == Prismatic REPL Script Guide == Here are some suggestions to running run the generate.py REPL Script from the repo if (you can find this in the '''scripts''' folder). == Prerequisites == Before running the script, ensure you have the following: * Python 3.8 or higher installed* NVIDIA GPU with CUDA support (optional but recommended for faster processing)* Hugging Face account and token for accessing Meta Lllama == Setting Up the Environment == In addition to installing requirements-min.txt from the repo, you want probably need to install rich, tensorflow_graphics, tensorflow-datasets and dlimp. Set up Hugging Face token  You need a Hugging Face token to try out OpenVLAaccess certain models. Create a .hf_token file thats needed by the script. Create a file named `.hf_token` in the root directory of your project and add your Hugging Face token to this file: <syntaxhighlight lang="sh">echo "your_hugging_face_token" > .hf_token</syntaxhighlight> == Sample Images for generate.py REPL == You can get these by capturing frames or screenshotting rollout videos from <pre> https://openvla.github.io/ </pre> Make sure the images have an end effector in them. [[File:Coke can2.png|400px|Can pickup task]] == Starting REPL mode == Then, run generate.py. The script starts by initializing the generation playground with the Prismatic model prism-dinosiglip+7b. The model prism-dinosiglip+7b is downloaded from the Hugging Face Hub. The model configuration is found and then the model is loaded with the following components: Vision Backbone: dinosiglip-vit-so-384px Language Model (LLM) Backbone: llama2-7b-pure (this is also where the hf token comes into play) Architecture Specifier: no-align+fused-gelu-mlp Checkpoint Path: The model checkpoint is loaded from a specific path in the cache. You should see this in your terminal: [[File:Openvla1.png|800px|prismatic models]]   ''After loading the model, the script enters a REPL mode, allowing the user to interact with the model. The REPL mode provides a default generation setup and waits for user inputs.'' Basically, the generate.py script runs a REPL that allows users to interactively test generating outputs from the Prismatic model prism-dinosiglip+7b. Upon running the script, users can enter commands in the REPL prompt:  type (i) to load a new local image by specifying its path, (p) to update the prompt template for generating outputs, (q) to quit the REPL, or directly input a prompt to generate a response based on the loaded image and the specified prompt.
