GR00T-N1.6-3B-PickOrange (self-trained, ckpt-6500)
针对 LeIsaac SO-101 PickOrange 任务从 nvidia/GR00T-N1.6-3B (Eagle 2.5 VLM + Cross-attention DiT action head, ~3B params) 微调的 GR00T 策略。
A NVIDIA GR00T N1.6 (Eagle 2.5 VLM + cross-attention DiT, ~3B) policy fine-tuned from nvidia/GR00T-N1.6-3B for the LeIsaac SO-101 PickOrange task.

Highlights
ckpt-6500: 3/3 oranges placed, robot returned to rest pose — env reports success
ckpt-3500 (earlier checkpoint, kept on ckpt-3500 branch for reference): policy is still finding the placement — orange dropped off edge
TL;DR
- Task: SO-101 single-arm picks 3 oranges sequentially and places each in a plate (LeIsaac PickOrange).
- Architecture: GR00T N1.6 — Eagle 2.5 VLM (frozen) + cross-attention DiT action head (trainable). chunk_size=50, n_action_steps=16, 4-step rectified-flow denoising.
- Training: 6500 step / batch=16 (per-step=2 × grad_accum=8) / adafactor / bf16 / gradient_checkpointing with
use_reentrant=False. - Hardware: single RTX 4090 24GB (with
DISABLE_ADDMM_CUDA_LT=1, watchdog auto-resume on intermittent CUDA assert). - 🏆 Benchmark-aligned eval (3 round × 120s sim × 180s wall_cap) vs LeIsaac leaderboard:
| Model | Strict rounds | Oranges placed |
|---|---|---|
| hi-space N1.6 (公开 SOTA) | 2/3 | 6/9 |
| ACT | 1/3 | 6/9 |
| X-VLA best | 0/3 | 4/9 |
| 🏆 This ckpt-6500 | 2/3 | 8/9 ⭐ |

Training notes / known issues
- 4090 24GB is the hard limit: N1.6 N1.6 全参 FT on 24GB requires every memory hack stacked: bf16 + grad-ckpt with
use_reentrant=False+ adafactor +backbone_trainable_params_fp32=False+DISABLE_ADDMM_CUDA_LT=1. Without any of these we hit either OOM orRuntimeError: d.is_cuda() INTERNAL ASSERT FAILED at CUDAGuardImpl.h:34. - Random CUDA assert still happens every ~500-700 step despite the patches. We wrap training in a watchdog that auto-resumes from the latest checkpoint after each crash; net throughput ~70% of crash-free.
- Score variance: per-checkpoint quality oscillates wildly (e.g. ckpt-5000 = 16/18 in one 6-round eval, ckpt-5500 = 0/18 in the next). We attribute this to the optimization being run at the absolute memory edge — gradients and optim states may quantize inconsistently. The 8/9 result here is benchmark-aligned single 3-round run; expect ±20% noise on any individual run.
Inference
Use Isaac-GR00T's run_gr00t_server.py directly:
cd /path/to/Isaac-GR00T
uv run --extra=gpu python gr00t/eval/run_gr00t_server.py \
--embodiment-tag NEW_EMBODIMENT \
--model-path wsagi/GR00T-N1.6-PickOrange \
--host 0.0.0.0 --port 5555
Then on the Isaac Sim eval side (LeIsaac):
POLICY_PORT=5555 \
ACTION_HORIZON=16 \
EVAL_ROUNDS=3 EPISODE_LENGTH=120 MAX_ROUND_WALL_S=180 \
PROMPT="Pick up the orange and put it in the plate" \
bash server/eval_gr00t.sh
