VideoDecoderCache used an unbounded dict keyed on absolute path, with no
eviction in the standard LeRobotDataset path. With shuffled iteration over
datasets that have many distinct mp4 files, every DataLoader worker
accumulated one cached (VideoDecoder, fsspec file handle) pair per distinct
path it had ever touched. Per-entry cost is ~3-5 MB of host RAM plus one
open FD; at ~8 k entries this is roughly 30 GB per worker.
This was hit in the wild during a SmolVLA training run on a 4,195-episode
SO-101 dataset (8,390 mp4s, two cameras per episode). dmesg showed
anon-rss climbing to 34.9 GB on a single pt_data_worker before the OOM
killer fired ~30 min into training; with --num_workers=8 the per-worker
peak halved to 17.9 GB, which is the expected inverse-scaling signature
when the leak is per-decode and the workload is split across workers. The
working workaround on the affected platform was --dataset.video_backend=pyav,
because the pyav path opens/closes per call and never touches this cache.
Switch the backing store to an OrderedDict and evict LRU entries when the
cap is reached, closing the evicted file handle inside the lock so we do
not leak FDs either. Default cap is DEFAULT_DECODER_CACHE_SIZE = 100,
overridable via LEROBOT_VIDEO_DECODER_CACHE_SIZE or by passing max_size=
to the constructor; max_size=None restores the legacy unbounded behaviour
for callers that need it.
Validation on the original failing workload (decode_video_frames_torchcodec
called over real mp4s from the affected SO-101 dataset):
unbounded: 300 files -> +1087 MB host RSS, cache=300, still climbing
cap=50: 500 files -> +266 MB host RSS, cache=50, stable
cap=50: 2000 calls -> +312 MB host RSS, cache=50, stable
cap=100: 1000 calls -> +470 MB host RSS, cache=100, stable
Three independent seeded runs at cap=50 agreed to within 1% (263 / 266 /
265 MB delta), and the 2000-call multi-pass run shows RSS plateaus after
the cap is reached instead of drifting.
Tests in tests/datasets/test_video_decoder_cache.py cover:
default-is-bounded, size cap, LRU ordering, FD close on eviction, FD close
on clear(), cache-hit invariance, max_size=None fallback, and env-var
override. No regressions in test_video_encoding.py, test_streaming.py, or
test_dataset_reader.py (73 prior tests still pass alongside the 8 new ones).

* feat(language): add motion (persistent) and trace (event-only) styles
Promote the previously-reserved motion/trace styles to first-class core
styles. motion routes to language_persistent (it tracks robot state over
time); trace routes to language_events (single-moment annotations).

* feat(language): per-camera tagging on view-dependent styles
Adds a nullable `camera` field to the language row struct (both persistent
and event variants) so view-dependent styles like `vqa` can carry which
`observation.images.*` view they were grounded against. Without this,
multi-camera datasets ended up with multiple `(vqa, role)` rows at the
same timestamp that the resolver could not disambiguate.
- `language.py`: add `camera` to PERSISTENT_ROW_FIELDS / EVENT_ROW_FIELDS,
to both Arrow struct types and the HF datasets feature mappings;
introduce VIEW_DEPENDENT_STYLES = {vqa, motion, trace} plus
`is_view_dependent_style` and `validate_camera_field` helpers (camera
required iff style is view-dependent).
- `language_render.py`: thread an optional `camera=` kwarg through every
resolver (`active_at`, `emitted_at`, `nth_prev`, `nth_next`) and through
`_matching_rows` / `_select_*`, so recipes can disambiguate per-camera
VQA with `emitted_at(t, style=vqa, role=assistant, camera=...)`.
Without a `camera` filter, multi-row matches keep raising the existing
ambiguity error — which is the desired behaviour on multi-camera data.
- `recipes/pi05_hirobot.yaml`: replace the single `ask_vqa` branch with
`ask_vqa_top` and `ask_vqa_wrist` per-camera sub-recipes (each carrying
the matching image block), keeping the original 0.20 budget and
documenting the customization point for datasets with different cameras.
- Tests: schema test asserts the new field order; new tests cover
`is_view_dependent_style`, `validate_camera_field` (both required and
forbidden directions), per-camera `emitted_at` filtering, and the
ambiguity error when two cameras emit `(vqa, assistant)` at the same
timestamp without a `camera=` filter. RenderMessagesStep + dataset
passthrough fixtures updated to include the new field.
- `docs/source/language_and_recipes.mdx`: document the `camera` field,
the per-camera resolver pattern, and the canonical recipe convention.

* fix(language): drop motion from VIEW_DEPENDENT_STYLES
Motion primitives are described in robot-frame (joint / Cartesian) terms,
not pixel space, so they are camera-agnostic. Only `vqa` (event) and
`trace` (event, pixel-trajectory) are view-dependent.
The `camera` field stays on PERSISTENT_ROW_FIELDS for schema symmetry —
the validator, resolver, and HF feature mapping behave identically across
the two columns regardless of which styles populate `camera` today —
but persistent rows now always have `camera=None` in practice.

* feat(language): task_aug style + automatic ${task} rephrasing rotation
Adds task-prompt diversity (Xiao 2022 / CAST) without touching
``meta/tasks.parquet`` or forcing recipes to opt in. The plan reserved
``task_aug`` as a future style; this lands it now.
- ``language.py``: add ``task_aug`` to ``CORE_STYLES`` and
``PERSISTENT_STYLES``. ``column_for_style("task_aug")`` returns
``language_persistent`` so PR 2 writers route it correctly.
- ``language_render.py``: ``_resolve_task`` now consults the persistent
slice for rows of ``style="task_aug", role="user"``. When any exist
it picks one deterministically by ``sample_idx`` (blake2b-keyed, not
Python's randomized hash) so an epoch sees every rephrasing of every
episode while the same sample still resolves identically across
reruns. Falls back to the canonical ``meta/tasks.parquet`` task when
no rephrasings are present, so existing datasets and unannotated runs
keep their behaviour. Explicit ``task=`` overrides still win.
- Tests: rephrasing coverage across samples, determinism on repeat
``sample_idx``, fallback when persistent has no ``task_aug`` rows,
and explicit override priority.
Recipes get this for free: any ``${task}`` placeholder rotates through
the available rephrasings. Recipes that want the literal canonical task
can override the binding.

* feat(language): tool catalog in meta/info.json + LeRobotDatasetMetadata.tools
Stores OpenAI-style function schemas at ``meta/info.json["tools"]`` so
datasets can declare which tools are available (today: just ``say``;
tomorrow: per-dataset extensions). The ``DEFAULT_TOOLS`` constant
fills in for unannotated datasets so chat-template consumers don't
have to special-case anything.
Three pieces:
- ``language.py``: ``SAY_TOOL_SCHEMA`` and ``DEFAULT_TOOLS``
constants. Single source of truth — PR 2's writer and PR 3's
runtime tool registry will both import from here instead of
duplicating the dict.
- ``dataset_metadata.py``: ``LeRobotDatasetMetadata.tools`` property
reads ``info.json["tools"]`` and falls back to ``DEFAULT_TOOLS``.
Returns deep-copied dicts so callers can mutate the result safely.
- ``docs/source/tools.mdx``: spec page covering the catalog, per-row
invocations, and the three-step "how to add a new tool" workflow
(declare schema, implement, register). Linked from the docs
toctree under the Datasets section.
This lays the groundwork for PR 2's pipeline writing the catalog out
during annotation, and PR 3's ``src/lerobot/tools/`` package shipping
runnable implementations (one file per tool — first up:
``say.py`` wrapping Kyutai's pocket-tts).

* Apply ruff and prettier formatting after merge
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* refactor(language): unify resolver dispatch and prune redundant test scaffolding
* Drop the unused `events` kwarg from `active_at`/`nth_prev`/`nth_next`;
only `emitted_at` actually consults events. The dispatcher in
`_resolve_spec` now passes events conditionally.
* Replace the dual `_persistent_sort_key`/`_event_sort_key` pair with a
single `_row_sort_key` and drop the `sort_key` parameter from
`_select_one`. Event rows lack `timestamp` (it is implicit in the
frame) and now default to `0.0` for sort purposes — the
`(style, role)` tiebreaker is unchanged.
* Inline `_select_latest` into `active_at` (its only caller).
* Collapse `emitted_at`'s dual-branch into one `_select_one` call.
* Tighten `_validate_persistent_resolver` to a single
`column_for_style(style) != LANGUAGE_PERSISTENT` check.
* Parameterize `test_per_camera_blend_renders_both_views` over the two
cameras and factor the sub-recipe builder into `_vqa_subrecipe` so
the test no longer hand-rolls two near-identical recipe blocks.
Net -98 LOC; behavior, public resolver names, and test expectations
unchanged.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(language): always raise on ambiguous resolver matches
`_select_one` previously skipped its ambiguity check whenever any of
`role`/`tool_name`/`camera` was set, on the assumption that the caller
had already pinned down a unique row. That left a real ambiguity hole
for VQA: with two cameras emitting `(vqa, assistant)` at the same
frame, `emitted_at(..., role="assistant")` silently picked the first
sorted row instead of telling the recipe to add `camera=...`. The
existing `test_emitted_at_raises_on_ambiguous_per_camera_vqa` test
already encoded the desired behavior.
Tighten the check: any time `len(rows) > 1` we now raise with the
selectors echoed back, so users see exactly which fields they passed
and that more is needed to disambiguate.

* chore: fix CI — collapse short ValueError to one line, refresh uv.lock
* `ruff format` on CI (newer version) wants the short `camera=None`
ValueError on a single line.
* `uv.lock` was stale relative to `pyproject.toml`'s `datasets>=4.7.0`

CI runs `uv sync --locked` which rejected the divergence.

* fix(language): keep base install green — drop processor re-export, gate dataset-extra tests
`lerobot.processor` re-exported `RenderMessagesStep` at the package
level, so importing anything from `lerobot.processor` pulled in
`lerobot.datasets.language` → `lerobot.datasets/__init__.py` →
`require_package("datasets")`, which fails in the Tier 1 base install
that intentionally omits the `[dataset]` extra. The chain bricked
collection for unrelated suites (`tests/policies/pi0_pi05/...`,
`tests/envs/...`, etc.).
* Stop re-exporting `RenderMessagesStep` from `lerobot.processor`. The
only consumer (the test) already imports from the submodule.
Document the deliberate omission in the module docstring.
* Add `pytest.importorskip("datasets", ...)` (and `pandas` where
needed) at the top of the four PR-added tests that exercise the
language stack:
- tests/datasets/test_language.py
- tests/datasets/test_language_render.py
- tests/processor/test_render_messages_processor.py
- tests/utils/test_collate.py
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(language): address review — tools accessor, motion docs, conditional collate
* **`meta.tools` actually reads `info.json["tools"]`.** `DatasetInfo`
had no `tools` field, so `from_dict` silently dropped the key (it
warned about unknown fields then discarded them) and the property
always returned `DEFAULT_TOOLS`. Added `tools: list[dict] | None`
to the dataclass; `to_dict()` drops it when unset so existing
datasets keep a clean `info.json`. Fixed the accessor to read
`self.info.tools` (the previous `.get(...)` would have raised
AttributeError on the dataclass anyway). Added regression tests:
fallback when absent, round-trip from disk, and round-trip
through `DatasetInfo.from_dict` / `to_dict`.
* **`motion` is not view-dependent — fix the docs.** The mdx claimed
rows of style `motion` must carry `camera`, but `VIEW_DEPENDENT_STYLES
= {"vqa", "trace"}` and the validator agrees: motion primitives are
joint/Cartesian-frame, not pixel-space. Updated both call-out
paragraphs in `language_and_recipes.mdx`.
* **Conditional `collate_fn` swap.** Added `meta.has_language_columns`
and gate the `lerobot_collate_fn` swap in `lerobot_train.py` on it,
so non-language datasets keep PyTorch's `default_collate`. Also
added a pass-through test in `test_collate.py` that asserts on a
plain tensor batch the custom collate matches `default_collate`
key-for-key, plus a test for the `None`-sample drop path.

* review: dedupe regex, centralize column names, harden collate, more tests
* **#2 — dedupe `_PLACEHOLDER_RE`.** The same regex was compiled in
`recipe.py` and `language_render.py`. Promote to module-level
`PLACEHOLDER_RE` in `recipe.py` (its primary owner — declares
template syntax) and import from `language_render.py`.
* **#3 — centralize language column names.** `io_utils.py` had
hardcoded `{"language_persistent", "language_events"}` literals at
two sites. Replace with `LANGUAGE_COLUMNS` import so a future column
rename can't silently desync.
* **#4 — defensive collate preserved-keys.** `lerobot_collate_fn`
silently filtered language fields from samples that didn't have
them, which would hand downstream consumers a preserved list
shorter than the tensor batch. Now: if any sample carries a key,
every sample in the batch must carry it; otherwise raise a
`ValueError` so the upstream rendering bug surfaces at the boundary.
* **#5 — `_scalar` rejects non-singleton lists.** Previously a zero-
or multi-element list fell through and triggered confusing
`float([])` errors downstream. Now raises `ValueError` with the
actual length.
* **#6 — refactor `_extract_complementary_data`.** Replace 11 lines
of `key = {... if ... else {}}` plus an 11-line splat dict with a
single `_COMPLEMENTARY_KEYS` tuple iterated once.
* **#7 — document `EXTENDED_STYLES`.** Was an empty `set()` with no
comment. Add a docstring explaining it's an intentional extension
point: downstream modules append project-local styles before
`column_for_style` is called.
* **#9 — `tools.mdx` notes the runtime layer is future work.** The
page referenced `src/lerobot/tools/`, `registry.py`, and
`get_tools(meta)` — none exist in this PR. Added a callout at the
start of "How to add your own tool" plus a note on the
implementations paragraph.
* **#10 — tests for YAML round-trip, malformed rows, blend
validation.** `test_recipe.py` grew from 1 case to 12 covering:
blend-or-messages exclusivity, target-turn requirement, blend
emptiness, weight presence/positivity, nested-blend rejection,
`from_dict` with nested blends, `from_yaml` / `load_recipe`
agreement, top-level non-mapping rejection. Added a malformed-row
test for `_normalize_rows` that asserts non-dict entries raise
`TypeError`.

* review: emitted_at uses 0.1s tolerance; MessageTurn requires stream at construction
* **Float tolerance in `emitted_at` for persistent styles.** The
``_timestamp(row) == t`` exact-equality check silently missed any
caller that derived ``t`` arithmetically (e.g. ``frame_idx / fps``)
even though the parquet timestamp would only differ by ULPs. Added
``EMITTED_AT_TOLERANCE_S = 0.1`` and check ``abs(...) <= tolerance``
instead, with a docstring explaining why exact equality wasn't
enough and why 0.1 s is safe at typical 30–100 Hz control rates.
Test asserts the new behavior at half-window (matches) and
double-window (no match) using the constant so it stays in sync.
* **`MessageTurn.stream` is required at construction.** It was typed
``MessageStream | None = None`` so YAML could omit ``stream:`` and
pass the dataclass invariant — but ``_validate_rendered`` rejected
``None`` streams later, surfacing the error at the first sample
instead of at recipe load. Now ``__post_init__`` raises
``ValueError`` if ``stream`` is ``None``, with the list of valid
streams in the message. The redundant late-stage check in
``_validate_rendered`` is replaced with a one-line comment that
cites the upstream invariant. Test pins the new construction-time
rejection.

* docs(tools): drop follow-up-PR references
Reword the two callouts in `tools.mdx` to describe the runtime layer

specific follow-up PR. Keeps the doc honest about what works now
without coupling it to a particular release order.

- language timestamps: float64 -> float32 to match LeRobotDataset frame

- dataset_metadata: hoist `.language` imports to module top — language.py

* feat(robots): natively integrate Seeed Studio reBot B601-DM arm
Add first-class LeRobot support for the Seeed Studio reBot arm, replacing
the out-of-tree `lerobot-robot-seeed-b601` / `lerobot-teleoperator-rebot-arm-102`
plugin packages.
New devices:
- robot `rebot_b601_follower` — single-arm B601-DM follower (6-DOF + gripper,
Damiao CAN motors via `motorbridge`)
- robot `bi_rebot_b601_follower` — bimanual follower composing two single arms
- teleoperator `rebot_102_leader` — single-arm StarArm102 / reBot Arm 102 leader
(FashionStar UART servos via `motorbridge-smart-servo`)
- teleoperator `bi_rebot_102_leader` — bimanual leader composing two single arms
The bimanual variants reuse the single-arm classes and namespace each arm's
observation/action keys with `left_` / `right_` prefixes, so a bimanual
StarArm102 leader can teleoperate a bimanual reBot B601 follower.
Optional SDK imports are guarded; a `rebot` extra installs `motorbridge` and
`motorbridge-smart-servo`.

* fix(config): support policy.path in YAML config files
policy.path was only handled via CLI args (filtered from sys.argv before
draccus, then retrieved in validate()). When specified in YAML, draccus
would crash because 'path' is not a valid field on PreTrainedConfig.
Extract path fields from the YAML/JSON config before draccus processes
it, store them in a module-level dict, and fall back to it in
get_path_arg() when the CLI doesn't have the path.
Fixes#2957
* fix(parser): preserve YAML policy overrides when loading from pretrained
When policy.path is set in YAML, validate() was calling from_pretrained
with only CLI overrides, discarding any YAML policy fields (e.g. lr,
batch_size) that draccus had already parsed. Fix by capturing the
remaining YAML fields as CLI-style args in _config_yaml_overrides and
merging them into the overrides passed to from_pretrained in train.py,
eval.py, and lerobot_record.py (CLI args still take precedence).
Also fix the NamedTemporaryFile SIM115 ruff warning and add types-PyYAML

Bool values from YAML configs (e.g. push_to_hub: true) were passed as
Python "True"/"False" strings instead of lowercase "true"/"false" that
draccus expects. Also skip None values to avoid passing "None" strings.
* revert: remove types-PyYAML from .pre-commit-config.yaml
* chore: fix quality check caused by untyped YAML import

If VideoDecoder() raises during initialization, the fsspec file handle
was leaked since it was opened via __enter__() but never closed on the
exception path. Now explicitly closes the handle before re-raising.
* chore(deps): allow torch 2.11/2.12 and fix autocast deprecation
- Bump torch to >=2.7,<2.13 (was <2.11), torchvision to <0.28 (was <0.26),
and torchcodec to <0.13 (was <0.11) to allow installs against the latest
stable torch 2.11 and the upcoming 2.12 line.
- Replace removed torch.get_autocast_gpu_dtype() with torch.get_autocast_dtype("cuda")
in Florence2 and Qwen2.5-VL-MoE FlashAttention paths (the former is removed in 2.11+).
- Refresh uv.lock for the new resolution (torch 2.11.0+cu130, torchvision 0.26.0+cu130,
torchcodec 0.11.1, full CUDA 13 stack).
Verified locally with `uv sync --locked` from a clean .venv and the lerobot
test suite (pytest -n 8 --dist=loadfile --timeout=300). Failure set is
identical to the pre-bump baseline: 18 pre-existing failures
(test_sac_policy*, test_pi0_rtc*, test_pi05_rtc*, test_replay_buffer*),
0 new, 0 fixed.
AI assistance: this change was authored with Claude Code per AI_POLICY.md.
* fix(policies): use device-agnostic autocast dtype lookup
Pass query_states.device.type to torch.get_autocast_dtype() instead of
hardcoding 'cuda', so the cast matches the active autocast context when
running under CPU/MPS/XPU autocast.

* fix(train): restrict legacy RA-BC migration to JSON checkpoints only
_migrate_legacy_rabc_fields was called for all config files, causing
json.load to raise DecodeError when a YAML/TOML config was passed to
lerobot-train for a new training run. Guard the block with an
.endswith(".json") check so migration only runs when resuming from
a JSON checkpoint.
* fix(ci): run multi-task benchmark evals 5-at-a-time in parallel
The eval script supports running tasks concurrently via a
ThreadPoolExecutor (env.max_parallel_tasks). Apply it to the four
multi-task benchmark CI jobs (RoboTwin, RoboCasa, RoboMME, LIBERO-plus
— 8-10 tasks/task_ids each) so they finish in ~2 waves of 5 instead of
running sequentially. Single-task jobs (Libero, MetaWorld, RoboCerebra)
are unchanged.
* fix(ci): cap VLABench smoke eval at 50 steps per task
VLABench's default episode_length is 500 steps; with 10 tasks at ~1 it/s
the smoke eval took ~80 minutes of rollouts on top of the image build.
The eval is a pipeline smoke test (running_success_rate stays at 0% on
this short rollout anyway), so we don't need full episodes — cap each
task at 50 steps to bring total rollout time down ~10x.
* fix(ci): run VLABench tasks 5-at-a-time in parallel
The eval script already supports running multiple tasks concurrently via
a ThreadPoolExecutor (env.max_parallel_tasks). Set it to 5 so the 10
VLABench tasks finish in ~2 waves instead of running sequentially.

The robotwin benchmark Dockerfile still installed cuda-nvcc-12-4 and
cuda-cudart-dev-12-4 after #3505 upgraded the base image to CUDA 12.6.3
on Ubuntu 24.04. Those packages aren't available in the ubuntu2404 CUDA
repo, so the build failed at apt-get install. Bumping both to -12-6 to
match the base image.

Move PI0 and PI0.5 noise/time sampling into the policy wrappers so the compiled PyTorch cores receive them as tensor inputs.
This keeps Beta sampling out of torch.compile on MPS, avoiding aten::_sample_dirichlet compilation errors while preserving the CUDA training path.
Validation: .venv/bin/python -m pre_commit run --files src/lerobot/policies/pi0/modeling_pi0.py src/lerobot/policies/pi05/modeling_pi05.py; .venv/bin/python -m pytest -sv -rs tests/policies/pi0_pi05/test_pi0.py tests/policies/pi0_pi05/test_pi05.py tests/policies/pi0_pi05/test_pi0_rtc.py tests/policies/pi0_pi05/test_pi05_rtc.py

* chore: List lerobot_rewardmodel_modelcard_template.md in MANIFEST.in
* chore: export SARMConfig, SARMRewardModel, and make_sarm_pre_post_processors from rewards.sarm.
* refactor(datasets): replace untyped dict with typed DatasetInfo dataclass
Introduce typed DatasetInfo dataclass to replace untyped dict representation of info.json.
Changes:
- Add DatasetInfo dataclass with explicit fields and validation
- Implement __post_init__ for shape conversion (list ↔ tuple)
- Add dict-style compatibility layer (__getitem__, __setitem__, .get())
- Add from_dict() and to_dict() for JSON serialization
- Update io_utils to use load_info/write_info with DatasetInfo
- Update dataset utilities and metadata to use attribute access
- Remove aggregate.py dict-style field access
- Add tests fixture support for DatasetInfo
Benefits:
- Type safety with IDE auto-completion
- Validation at construction time
- Explicit schema documentation
* fix pre-commit
* update docstring inside DatasetInfo.from_dict()
* sorts the unknown to have deterministic output
