Deployment recipe

Not reproduced yet · Weights are in the prismatic format and need the openvla-mini runtime rather than transformers remote code; not set up in phase one.

Compatibility

Colored only where we hold evidence. An amber dot means the vendor declares this form as a target; that is a claim, not a verified compatibility.

Reproduction records

Did this model run on your robot? Report it with a link (log, video or repo). Records are reviewed by the maintainers; a verified “works” or “works after fine-tuning” upgrades the matrix cell to “community verified” with your link as evidence. Anonymous is fine; nothing but the fields below is stored.
