Ablation Study — Training Duration

We evaluated checkpoints at multiple steps to understand convergence:

Training Steps Success Rate
2,000 2%
6,000 17%
10,000 31%
20,000 36%

Performance improves consistently but with diminishing returns, suggesting convergence begins around 10K steps on LIBERO-Spatial.
