+# Loading Environments from the Hub
+
+The **EnvHub** feature allows you to load simulation environments directly from the Hugging Face Hub with a single line of code. This unlocks a powerful new model for collaboration: instead of environments being locked away inside monolithic libraries, anyone can publish custom environments and share them with the community.
+
+## Overview
+
+With EnvHub, you can:
+
+- Load environments from the Hub instantly
+- Share your custom simulation tasks with the community
+- Version control your environments using Git
+- Distribute complex physics simulations without packaging hassles
+
+## Quick Start
+
+Loading an environment from the Hub is as simple as:
+
+```python
+from lerobot.envs.factory import make_env
+
+# Load a hub environment (requires explicit consent to run remote code)
+env = make_env("lerobot/cartpole-env", trust_remote_code=True)
+```
+
+<Tip warning={true}>
+  **Security Notice**: Loading environments from the Hub executes Python code
+  from third-party repositories. Only use `trust_remote_code=True` with
+  repositories you trust. We strongly recommend pinning to a specific commit
+  hash for reproducibility and security.
+</Tip>
+
+## What is EnvHub?
+
+EnvHub is a framework that allows researchers and developers to:
+
+1. **Publish environments** to the Hugging Face Hub as Git repositories
+2. **Load environments** dynamically without installing them as packages
+3. **Version and track** environment changes using Git semantics
+4. **Discover** new simulation tasks shared by the community
+
+This design means you can go from discovering an interesting environment on the Hub to running experiments in seconds, without worrying about dependency conflicts or complex installation procedures.
+
+## Repository Structure
+
+To make your environment loadable from the Hub, your repository must contain at minimum:
+
+### Required Files
+
+**`env.py`** (or custom Python file)
+
+- Must expose a `make_env(n_envs: int, use_async_envs: bool)` function
+- This function should return one of:
+  - A `gym.vector.VectorEnv` (most common)
+  - A single `gym.Env` (will be automatically wrapped)
+  - A dict mapping `{suite_name: {task_id: VectorEnv}}` (for multi-task benchmarks)
+
+### Optional Files
+
+**`requirements.txt`**
+
+- List any additional dependencies your environment needs
+- Users will need to install these manually before loading your environment
+
+**`README.md`**
+
+- Document your environment: what task it implements, observation/action spaces, rewards, etc.
+- Include usage examples and any special setup instructions
+
+**`.gitignore`**
+
+- Exclude unnecessary files from your repository
+
+### Example Repository Structure
+
+```
+my-environment-repo/
+├── env.py                 # Main environment definition (required)
+├── requirements.txt       # Dependencies (optional)
+├── README.md             # Documentation (recommended)
+├── assets/               # Images, videos, etc. (optional)
+│   └── demo.gif
+└── configs/              # Config files if needed (optional)
+    └── task_config.yaml
+```
+
+## Creating Your Environment Repository
+
+### Step 1: Define Your Environment
+
+Create an `env.py` file with a `make_env` function:
+
+```python
+# env.py
+import gymnasium as gym
+
+def make_env(n_envs: int = 1, use_async_envs: bool = False):
+    """
+    Create vectorized environments for your custom task.
+
+    Args:
+        n_envs: Number of parallel environments
+        use_async_envs: Whether to use AsyncVectorEnv or SyncVectorEnv
+
+    Returns:
+        gym.vector.VectorEnv or dict mapping suite names to vectorized envs
+    """
+    def _make_single_env():
+        # Create your custom environment
+        return gym.make("CartPole-v1")
+
+    # Choose vector environment type
+    env_cls = gym.vector.AsyncVectorEnv if use_async_envs else gym.vector.SyncVectorEnv
+
+    # Create vectorized environment
+    vec_env = env_cls([_make_single_env for _ in range(n_envs)])
+
+    return vec_env
+```
+
+### Step 2: Test Locally
+
+Before uploading, test your environment locally:
+
+```python
+from lerobot.envs.utils import _load_module_from_path, _call_make_env, _normalize_hub_result
+
+# Load your module
+module = _load_module_from_path("./env.py")
+
+# Test the make_env function
+result = _call_make_env(module, n_envs=2, use_async_envs=False)
+normalized = _normalize_hub_result(result)
+
+# Verify it works
+suite_name = next(iter(normalized))
+env = normalized[suite_name][0]
+obs, info = env.reset()
+print(f"Observation shape: {obs.shape if hasattr(obs, 'shape') else type(obs)}")
+env.close()
+```
+
+### Step 3: Upload to the Hub
+
+Upload your repository to Hugging Face:
+
+```bash
+# Install huggingface_hub if needed
+pip install huggingface_hub
+
+# Login to Hugging Face
+huggingface-cli login
+
+# Create a new repository
+huggingface-cli repo create my-custom-env --type space --org my-org
+
+# Initialize git and push
+git init
+git add .
+git commit -m "Initial environment implementation"
+git remote add origin https://huggingface.co/my-org/my-custom-env
+git push -u origin main
+```
+
+Alternatively, use the `huggingface_hub` Python API:
+
+```python
+from huggingface_hub import HfApi
+
+api = HfApi()
+
+# Create repository
+api.create_repo("my-custom-env", repo_type="space")
+
+# Upload files
+api.upload_folder(
+    folder_path="./my-env-folder",
+    repo_id="username/my-custom-env",
+    repo_type="space",
+)
+```
+
+## Loading Environments from the Hub
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```python
+from lerobot.envs.factory import make_env
+
+# Load from the hub
+envs_dict = make_env(
+    "username/my-custom-env",
+    n_envs=4,
+    trust_remote_code=True
+)
+
+# Access the environment
+suite_name = next(iter(envs_dict))
+env = envs_dict[suite_name][0]
+
+# Use it like any gym environment
+obs, info = env.reset()
+action = env.action_space.sample()
+obs, reward, terminated, truncated, info = env.step(action)
+```
+
+### Advanced: Pinning to Specific Versions
+
+For reproducibility and security, pin to a specific Git revision:
+
+```python
+# Pin to a specific branch
+env = make_env("username/my-env@main", trust_remote_code=True)
+
+# Pin to a specific commit (recommended for papers/experiments)
+env = make_env("username/my-env@abc123def456", trust_remote_code=True)
+
+# Pin to a tag
+env = make_env("username/my-env@v1.0.0", trust_remote_code=True)
+```
+
+### Custom File Paths
+
+If your environment definition is not in `env.py`:
+
+```python
+# Load from a custom file
+env = make_env("username/my-env:custom_env.py", trust_remote_code=True)
+
+# Combine with version pinning
+env = make_env("username/my-env@v1.0:envs/task_a.py", trust_remote_code=True)
+```
+
+### Async Environments
+
+For better performance with multiple environments:
+
+```python
+envs_dict = make_env(
+    "username/my-env",
+    n_envs=8,
+    use_async_envs=True,  # Use AsyncVectorEnv for parallel execution
+    trust_remote_code=True
+)
+```
+
+## URL Format Reference
+
+The hub URL format supports several patterns:
+
+| Pattern              | Description                    | Example                                |

+    }
+```
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+<Tip warning={true}>
+  **Important**: The `trust_remote_code=True` flag is required to execute
+  environment code from the Hub. This is by design for security.
+</Tip>
+
+When loading environments from the Hub:
+
+1. **Review the code first**: Visit the repository and inspect `env.py` before loading
+2. **Pin to commits**: Use specific commit hashes for reproducibility
+3. **Check dependencies**: Review `requirements.txt` for suspicious packages
+4. **Use trusted sources**: Prefer official organizations or well-known researchers
+5. **Sandbox if needed**: Run untrusted code in isolated environments (containers, VMs)
+
+Example of safe usage:
+
+```python
+# ❌ BAD: Loading without inspection
+env = make_env("random-user/untrusted-env", trust_remote_code=True)
+
+# ✅ GOOD: Review code, then pin to specific commit
+# 1. Visit https://huggingface.co/trusted-org/verified-env
+# 2. Review the env.py file
+# 3. Copy the commit hash
+env = make_env("trusted-org/verified-env@a1b2c3d4", trust_remote_code=True)
+```
+
+## Example: CartPole from the Hub
+
+Here's a complete example using the reference CartPole environment:
+
+```python
+from lerobot.envs.factory import make_env
+import numpy as np
+
+# Load the environment
+envs_dict = make_env("lerobot/cartpole-env", n_envs=4, trust_remote_code=True)
+
+# Get the vectorized environment
+suite_name = next(iter(envs_dict))
+env = envs_dict[suite_name][0]
+
+# Run a simple episode
+obs, info = env.reset()
+done = np.zeros(env.num_envs, dtype=bool)
+total_reward = np.zeros(env.num_envs)
+
+while not done.all():
+    # Random policy
+    action = env.action_space.sample()
+    obs, reward, terminated, truncated, info = env.step(action)
+    total_reward += reward
+    done = terminated | truncated
+
+print(f"Average reward: {total_reward.mean():.2f}")
+env.close()
+```
+
+## Benefits of EnvHub
+
+### For Environment Authors
+
+- **Easy distribution**: No PyPI packaging required
+- **Version control**: Use Git for environment versioning
+- **Rapid iteration**: Push updates instantly
+- **Documentation**: Hub README renders beautifully
+- **Community**: Reach LeRobot users directly
+
+### For Researchers
+
+- **Quick experiments**: Load any environment in one line
+- **Reproducibility**: Pin to specific commits
+- **Discovery**: Browse environments on the Hub
+- **No conflicts**: No need to install conflicting packages
+
+### For the Community
+
+- **Growing ecosystem**: More diverse simulation tasks
+- **Standardization**: Common `make_env` API
+- **Collaboration**: Fork and improve existing environments
+- **Accessibility**: Lower barrier to sharing research
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "Refusing to execute remote code"
+
+You must explicitly pass `trust_remote_code=True`:
+
+```python
+env = make_env("user/repo", trust_remote_code=True)
+```
+
+### "Module X not found"
+
+The hub environment has dependencies you need to install:
+
+```bash
+# Check the repo's requirements.txt and install dependencies
+pip install gymnasium numpy
+```
+
+### "make_env not found in module"
+
+Your `env.py` must expose a `make_env` function:
+
+```python
+def make_env(n_envs: int, use_async_envs: bool):
+    # Your implementation
+    pass
+```
+
+### Environment returns wrong type
+
+The `make_env` function must return:
+
+- A `gym.vector.VectorEnv`, or
+- A single `gym.Env`, or
+- A dict `{suite_name: {task_id: VectorEnv}}`
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Document your environment**: Include observation/action space descriptions, reward structure, and termination conditions in your README
+2. **Add requirements.txt**: List all dependencies with versions
+3. **Test thoroughly**: Verify your environment works locally before pushing
+4. **Use semantic versioning**: Tag releases with version numbers
+5. **Add examples**: Include usage examples in your README
+6. **Keep it simple**: Minimize dependencies when possible
+7. **License your work**: Add a LICENSE file to clarify usage terms
+
+## Future Directions
+
+The EnvHub ecosystem enables exciting possibilities:
+
+- **GPU-accelerated physics**: Share Isaac Gym or Brax environments
+- **Photorealistic rendering**: Distribute environments with advanced graphics
+- **Multi-agent scenarios**: Complex interaction tasks
+- **Real-world simulators**: Digital twins of physical setups
+- **Procedural generation**: Infinite task variations
+- **Domain randomization**: Pre-configured DR pipelines
+
+As more researchers and developers contribute, the diversity and quality of available environments will grow, benefiting the entire robotics learning community.

+# GR00T N1.5 Policy
+
+GR00T N1.5 is an open foundation model from NVIDIA designed for generalized humanoid robot reasoning and skills. It is a cross-embodiment model that accepts multimodal input, including language and images, to perform manipulation tasks in diverse environments.
+
+This document outlines the specifics of its integration and usage within the LeRobot framework.
+
+## Model Overview
+
+NVIDIA Isaac GR00T N1.5 is an upgraded version of the GR00T N1 foundation model. It is built to improve generalization and language-following abilities for humanoid robots.
+
+Developers and researchers can post-train GR00T N1.5 with their own real or synthetic data to adapt it for specific humanoid robots or tasks.
+
+GR00T N1.5 (specifically the GR00T-N1.5-3B model) is built using pre-trained vision and language encoders. It utilizes a flow matching action transformer to model a chunk of actions, conditioned on vision, language, and proprioception.
+
+Its strong performance comes from being trained on an expansive and diverse humanoid dataset, which includes:
+
+- Real captured data from robots.
+- Synthetic data generated using NVIDIA Isaac GR00T Blueprint.
+- Internet-scale video data.
+
+This approach allows the model to be highly adaptable through post-training for specific embodiments, tasks, and environments.
+
+## Installation Requirements
+
+As of today, GR00T N1.5 requires flash attention for it's internal working.
+
+We are working on making this optional, but in the meantime that means that we require an extra installation step and it can only be used in CUDA enabled devices.
+
+1. Following the Environment Setup of our [Installation Guide](./installation). **Attention** don't install `lerobot` in this step.
+2. Install [Flash Attention](https://github.com/Dao-AILab/flash-attention) by running:
+
+```bash
+# Check https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/ for your system
+pip install "torch>=2.2.1,<2.8.0" "torchvision>=0.21.0,<0.23.0" # --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu1XX
+pip install ninja "packaging>=24.2,<26.0" # flash attention dependencies
+pip install "flash-attn>=2.5.9,<3.0.0" --no-build-isolation
+python -c "import flash_attn; print(f'Flash Attention {flash_attn.__version__} imported successfully')"
+```
+
+3. Install LeRobot by running:
+
+```bash
+pip install lerobot[groot]
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+To use GR00T in your LeRobot configuration, specify the policy type as:
+
+```python
+policy.type=groot
+```
+
+## Training
+
+### Training Command Example
+
+Here's a complete training command for finetuning the base GR00T model on your own dataset:
+
+```bash
+# Using a multi-GPU setup
+accelerate launch \
+  --multi_gpu \
+  --num_processes=$NUM_GPUS \
+  $(which lerobot-train) \
+  --output_dir=$OUTPUT_DIR \
+  --save_checkpoint=true \
+  --batch_size=$BATCH_SIZE \
+  --steps=$NUM_STEPS \
+  --save_freq=$SAVE_FREQ \
+  --log_freq=$LOG_FREQ \
+  --policy.push_to_hub=true \
+  --policy.type=groot \
+  --policy.repo_id=$REPO_ID \
+  --policy.tune_diffusion_model=false \
+  --dataset.repo_id=$DATASET_ID \
+  --wandb.enable=true \
+  --wandb.disable_artifact=true \
+  --job_name=$JOB_NAME
+```
+
+## Performance Results
+
+### Libero Benchmark Results
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Follow our instructions for Libero usage: [Libero](./libero)
+
+GR00T has demonstrated strong performance on the Libero benchmark suite. To compare and test its LeRobot implementation, we finetuned the GR00T N1.5 model for 30k steps on the Libero dataset and compared the results to the GR00T reference results.
+
+| Benchmark          | LeRobot Implementation | GR00T Reference |
+| ------------------ | ---------------------- | --------------- |
+| **Libero Spatial** | 82.0%                  | 92.0%           |
+| **Libero Object**  | 99.0%                  | 92.0%           |
+| **Libero Long**    | 82.0%                  | 76.0%           |
+| **Average**        | 87.0%                  | 87.0%           |
+
+These results demonstrate GR00T's strong generalization capabilities across diverse robotic manipulation tasks. To reproduce these results, you can follow the instructions in the [Libero](https://huggingface.co/docs/lerobot/libero) section.
+
+### Evaluate in your hardware setup
+
+Once you have trained your model using your parameters you can run inference in your downstream task. Follow the instructions in [Imitation Learning for Robots](./il_robots). For example:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-record \
+  --robot.type=bi_so100_follower \
+  --robot.left_arm_port=/dev/ttyACM1 \

+## Common Issues
+
+### Always call `finalize()` before pushing
+
+When creating or recording datasets, you **must** call `dataset.finalize()` to properly close parquet writers. See the [PR #1903](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/pull/1903) for more details.
+
+```python
+from lerobot.datasets.lerobot_dataset import LeRobotDataset
+
+# Create dataset and record episodes
+dataset = LeRobotDataset.create(...)
+
+for episode in range(num_episodes):

+# Call finalize() when done recording and before push_to_hub()
+dataset.finalize()  # Closes parquet writers, writes metadata footers
+dataset.push_to_hub()
+```
+
+**Why is this necessary?**
+
+Dataset v3.0 uses incremental parquet writing with buffered metadata for efficiency. The `finalize()` method:
+
+- Flushes any buffered episode metadata to disk
+- Closes parquet writers to write footer metadata, otherwise the parquet files will be corrupt
+- Ensures the dataset is valid for loading
+
+Without calling `finalize()`, your parquet files will be incomplete and the dataset won't load properly.

+# Meta-World
+
+Meta-World is a well-designed, open-source simulation benchmark for multi-task and meta reinforcement learning in continuous-control robotic manipulation. It gives researchers a shared, realistic playground to test whether algorithms can _learn many different tasks_ and _generalize quickly to new ones_ — two central challenges for real-world robotics.
+
+- 📄 [MetaWorld paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1910.10897)
+- 💻 [Original MetaWorld repo](https://github.com/Farama-Foundation/Metaworld)
+
+![MetaWorld MT10 demo](https://meta-world.github.io/figures/ml45.gif)
+
+## Why Meta-World matters
+
+- **Diverse, realistic tasks.** Meta-World bundles a large suite of simulated manipulation tasks (50 in the MT50 suite) using everyday objects and a common tabletop Sawyer arm. This diversity exposes algorithms to a wide variety of dynamics, contacts and goal specifications while keeping a consistent control and observation structure.
+- **Focus on generalization and multi-task learning.** By evaluating across task distributions that share structure but differ in goals and objects, Meta-World reveals whether an agent truly learns transferable skills rather than overfitting to a narrow task.
+- **Standardized evaluation protocol.** It provides clear evaluation modes and difficulty splits, so different methods can be compared fairly across easy, medium, hard and very-hard regimes.
+- **Empirical insight.** Past evaluations on Meta-World show impressive progress on some fronts, but also highlight that current multi-task and meta-RL methods still struggle with large, diverse task sets. That gap points to important research directions.
+
+## What it enables in LeRobot
+
+In LeRobot, you can evaluate any policy or vision-language-action (VLA) model on Meta-World tasks and get a clear success-rate measure. The integration is designed to be straightforward:
+
+- We provide a LeRobot-ready dataset for Meta-World (MT50) on the HF Hub: `https://huggingface.co/datasets/lerobot/metaworld_mt50`.
+  - This dataset is formatted for the MT50 evaluation that uses all 50 tasks (the most challenging multi-task setting).
+  - MT50 gives the policy a one-hot task vector and uses fixed object/goal positions for consistency.
+
+- Task descriptions and the exact keys required for evaluation are available in the repo/dataset — use these to ensure your policy outputs the right success signals.
+
+## Quick start, train a SmolVLA policy on Meta-World
+
+Example command to train a SmolVLA policy on a subset of tasks:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+  --policy.type=smolvla \
+  --policy.repo_id=${HF_USER}/metaworld-test \
+  --policy.load_vlm_weights=true \
+  --dataset.repo_id=lerobot/metaworld_mt50 \
+  --env.type=metaworld \
+  --env.task=assembly-v3,dial-turn-v3,handle-press-side-v3 \
+  --output_dir=./outputs/ \
+  --steps=100000 \
+  --batch_size=4 \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=1 \
+  --eval_freq=1000
+```
+
+Notes:
+
+- `--env.task` accepts explicit task lists (comma separated) or difficulty groups (e.g., `env.task="hard"`).
+- Adjust `batch_size`, `steps`, and `eval_freq` to match your compute budget.
+- **Gymnasium Assertion Error**: if you encounter an error like
+  `AssertionError: ['human', 'rgb_array', 'depth_array']` when running MetaWorld environments, this comes from a mismatch between MetaWorld and your Gymnasium version.
+  We recommend using:
+
+```bash
+  pip install "gymnasium==1.1.0"
+```
+
+to ensure proper compatibility.
+
+## Quick start — evaluate a trained policy
+
+To evaluate a trained policy on the Meta-World medium difficulty split:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-eval \
+  --policy.path="your-policy-id" \
+  --env.type=metaworld \
+  --env.task=medium \
+  --eval.batch_size=1 \
+  --eval.n_episodes=2
+```
+
+This will run episodes and return per-task success rates using the standard Meta-World evaluation keys.
+
+## Practical tips
+
+- If you care about generalization, run on the full MT50 suite — it’s intentionally challenging and reveals strengths/weaknesses better than a few narrow tasks.
+- Use the one-hot task conditioning for multi-task training (MT10 / MT50 conventions) so policies have explicit task context.
+- Inspect the dataset task descriptions and the `info["is_success"]` keys when writing post-processing or logging so your success metrics line up with the benchmark.

+# Multi-GPU Training
+
+This guide shows you how to train policies on multiple GPUs using [Hugging Face Accelerate](https://huggingface.co/docs/accelerate).
+
+## Installation
+
+First, ensure you have accelerate installed:
+
+```bash
+pip install accelerate
+```
+
+## Training with Multiple GPUs
+
+You can launch training in two ways:
+
+### Option 1: Without config (specify parameters directly)
+
+You can specify all parameters directly in the command without running `accelerate config`:
+
+```bash
+accelerate launch \
+  --multi_gpu \
+  --num_processes=2 \
+  $(which lerobot-train) \
+  --dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/my_dataset \
+  --policy.type=act \
+  --policy.repo_id=${HF_USER}/my_trained_policy \
+  --output_dir=outputs/train/act_multi_gpu \
+  --job_name=act_multi_gpu \
+  --wandb.enable=true
+```
+
+**Key accelerate parameters:**
+
+- `--multi_gpu`: Enable multi-GPU training
+- `--num_processes=2`: Number of GPUs to use
+- `--mixed_precision=fp16`: Use fp16 mixed precision (or `bf16` if supported)
+
+### Option 2: Using accelerate config
+
+If you prefer to save your configuration, you can optionally configure accelerate for your hardware setup by running:
+
+```bash
+accelerate config
+```
+
+This interactive setup will ask you questions about your training environment (number of GPUs, mixed precision settings, etc.) and saves the configuration for future use. For a simple multi-GPU setup on a single machine, you can use these recommended settings:
+
+- Compute environment: This machine
+- Number of machines: 1
+- Number of processes: (number of GPUs you want to use)
+- GPU ids to use: (leave empty to use all)
+- Mixed precision: fp16 or bf16 (recommended for faster training)
+
+Then launch training with:
+
+```bash
+accelerate launch $(which lerobot-train) \
+  --dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/my_dataset \
+  --policy.type=act \
+  --policy.repo_id=${HF_USER}/my_trained_policy \
+  --output_dir=outputs/train/act_multi_gpu \
+  --job_name=act_multi_gpu \
+  --wandb.enable=true
+```
+
+## How It Works
+
+When you launch training with accelerate:
+
+1. **Automatic detection**: LeRobot automatically detects if it's running under accelerate
+2. **Data distribution**: Your batch is automatically split across GPUs
+3. **Gradient synchronization**: Gradients are synchronized across GPUs during backpropagation
+4. **Single process logging**: Only the main process logs to wandb and saves checkpoints
+
+## Learning Rate and Training Steps Scaling
+
+**Important:** LeRobot does **NOT** automatically scale learning rates or training steps based on the number of GPUs. This gives you full control over your training hyperparameters.
+
+### Why No Automatic Scaling?
+
+Many distributed training frameworks automatically scale the learning rate by the number of GPUs (e.g., `lr = base_lr × num_gpus`).
+However, LeRobot keeps the learning rate exactly as you specify it.
+
+### When and How to Scale
+
+If you want to scale your hyperparameters when using multiple GPUs, you should do it manually:
+
+**Learning Rate Scaling:**
+
+```bash
+# Example: 2 GPUs with linear LR scaling
+# Base LR: 1e-4, with 2 GPUs -> 2e-4
+accelerate launch --num_processes=2 $(which lerobot-train) \
+  --optimizer.lr=2e-4 \
+  --dataset.repo_id=lerobot/pusht \
+  --policy=act
+```
+
+**Training Steps Scaling:**
+
+Since the effective batch size `bs` increases with multiple GPUs (batch_size × num_gpus), you may want to reduce the number of training steps proportionally:
+
+```bash
+# Example: 2 GPUs with effective batch size 2x larger
+# Original: batch_size=8, steps=100000
+# With 2 GPUs: batch_size=8 (16 in total), steps=50000
+accelerate launch --num_processes=2 $(which lerobot-train) \
+  --batch_size=8 \
+  --steps=50000 \
+  --dataset.repo_id=lerobot/pusht \
+  --policy=act
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- The `--policy.use_amp` flag in `lerobot-train` is only used when **not** running with accelerate. When using accelerate, mixed precision is controlled by accelerate's configuration.
+- Training logs, checkpoints, and hub uploads are only done by the main process to avoid conflicts. Non-main processes have console logging disabled to prevent duplicate output.
+- The effective batch size is `batch_size × num_gpus`. If you use 4 GPUs with `--batch_size=8`, your effective batch size is 32.
+- Learning rate scheduling is handled correctly across multiple processes—LeRobot sets `step_scheduler_with_optimizer=False` to prevent accelerate from adjusting scheduler steps based on the number of processes.
+- When saving or pushing models, LeRobot automatically unwraps the model from accelerate's distributed wrapper to ensure compatibility.
+- WandB integration automatically initializes only on the main process, preventing multiple runs from being created.

+    This model inherits from [`PreTrainedModel`]. Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the
+    library implements for all its model (such as downloading or saving, resizing the input embeddings, pruning heads
+    etc.)
+
+    This model is also a PyTorch [torch.nn.Module](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/nn.html#torch.nn.Module) subclass.
+    Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage

+Groot Policy Wrapper for LeRobot Integration
+
+Minimal integration that delegates to Isaac-GR00T components where possible
+without porting their code. The intent is to:
+
+- Download and load the pretrained GR00T model via GR00TN15.from_pretrained
+- Optionally align action horizon similar to gr00t_finetune.py
+- Expose predict_action via GR00T model.get_action
+- Provide a training forward that can call the GR00T model forward if batch
+  structure matches.
+
+Notes:
+- Dataset loading and full training orchestration is handled by Isaac-GR00T
+  TrainRunner in their codebase. If you want to invoke that flow end-to-end
+  from LeRobot, see `GrootPolicy.finetune_with_groot_runner` below.
