For the past year we've been working on ALOHA Unleashed 🌋 @GoogleDeepMind - pushing the scale and dexterity of tasks on our ALOHA 2 fleet. Here is a thread with some of the coolest videos! The first task is hanging a shirt on a hanger (autonomous 1x)
Boeing whistleblower John Barnett was planning to drive home to Louisiana after his deposition on Friday 3/8 before Boeing lawyers asked him to stay one more day to finish his testimony. His body was found on the morning of 3/9. finance.yahoo.com/news/last-days…
Access to *diverse* training data is a major bottleneck in robot learning. We're releasing DROID, a large-scale in-the-wild manipulation dataset. 76k trajectories, 500+ scenes, multi-view stereo, language annotations etc Check it out & download today! 💻: droid-dataset.github.io
🚨 New Paper 🚨 LLMs excel at storing facts & in-context reasoning like CoT. But do they latently💭 reason over their parametric knowledge without answering step-by-step? We found positive evidence 👀 But it varies for different relation types, and scaling doesn't help much! 1/N
After 3 years @Tesla and Optimus, I am thrilled to announce that I joined Hugging Face to start an ambitious open robotics project! (open as in open-source, not as in Open AI) Looking for engineers to build real robots in Paris 🇫🇷 apply.workable.com/huggingface/j/… 🤖🤗
Long overdue but here's a new blogpost on training LLMs in the wilderness from the ground up 😄🧐 In this blog post, I discuss: 1. Experiences in procuring compute & variance in different compute providers. Our biggest finding/surprise is that variance is super high and it's…

@danijarh Interesting update! Is ε = 1e-20 used inside or outside the square root?
@danijarh Great to see an update :) Looks like you also switched to REINFORCE for continuous actions. That is surprising to me. Can you elaborate why? Do reparameterization policy gradients struggle with the straight-through discrete dynamics?
@danijarh Nice! Do you have any seperate plots showing the comparison of best performing old Dreamerv3 and the new version?
@danijarh Great work! Danijar's papers provide useful insightful methods that greatly alleviate RL researchers' pain in experiments
Block diagonal GRU lets Dreamer model inter-state transitions arxiv.org/abs/1905.12340
1) Replay buffer: store/update latent states, mix in online experience, larger capacity. 2) Critic replay loss: Train critic also on real rewards and let its grads shape the world model. 3) Networks: Block diagonal GRU for more memory under only small increase in params/flops.
@danijarh Congrats! Are there any applications / experiments you'd be excited to see? Particularly at smaller model sizes

@sai_prasanna @danijarh Think everyone knows Danijar's work (deservedly!)
@EugeneVinitsky @danijarh I admire his lineage of papers from PlaNet to dreamer, director, plan2explore, crafter, action perception as divergence minimization, clockworkvae. The cohesiveness of the themes explored and the results putting MbRL back on leaderboards (minecraft) is astounding.
There is nothing wrong with making incremental but steady progress on a hard problem.
