| 19 | [SmolVLA](https://huggingface.co/papers/2506.01844) is a compact, efficient vision-language-action model that achieves competitive performance at reduced computational costs and can be deployed on consumer-grade hardware. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | |
| 22 | This policy has been trained and pushed to the Hub using [LeRobot](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot). |
| 23 | See the full documentation at [LeRobot Docs](https://huggingface.co/docs/lerobot/index). |

| 27 | ## How to Get Started with the Model |
| 28 | |
| 29 | For a complete walkthrough, see the [training guide](https://huggingface.co/docs/lerobot/il_robots#train-a-policy). |
| 30 | Below is the short version on how to train and run inference/eval: |
| 31 | |
| 32 | ### Train from scratch |
| 33 | |
| 34 | ```bash |
| 35 | lerobot-train \ |
| 36 | --dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/<dataset> \ |
| 37 | --policy.type=act \ |
| 38 | --output_dir=outputs/train/<desired_policy_repo_id> \ |
| 39 | --job_name=lerobot_training \ |
| 40 | --policy.device=cuda \ |
| 41 | --policy.repo_id=${HF_USER}/<desired_policy_repo_id> |
| 42 | --wandb.enable=true |
| 43 | ``` |
| 44 | |
| 45 | _Writes checkpoints to `outputs/train/<desired_policy_repo_id>/checkpoints/`._ |
| 46 | |
| 47 | ### Evaluate the policy/run inference |
| 48 | |
| 49 | ```bash |
| 50 | lerobot-record \ |
| 51 | --robot.type=so100_follower \ |
| 52 | --dataset.repo_id=<hf_user>/eval_<dataset> \ |
| 53 | --policy.path=<hf_user>/<desired_policy_repo_id> \ |
| 54 | --episodes=10 |
| 55 | ``` |
| 56 | |
| 57 | Prefix the dataset repo with **eval\_** and supply `--policy.path` pointing to a local or hub checkpoint. |
