MolmoAct2-Think
MolmoAct2-Think extends MolmoAct2 with depth-token reasoning. Before producing an action, the model can predict a compact 10 x 10 discrete depth representation and condition the action expert on the resulting depth-aware VLM cache.
This checkpoint is the post-trained, multi-embodiment depth-reasoning model. It is intended as a foundation checkpoint for further robot fine-tuning rather than as a ready-to-run policy for a single deployment setting.

Intended Use
Use this checkpoint for further fine-tuning when the downstream policy should use depth reasoning. It contains the VLM, action expert, and depth-token weights, plus normalization metadata for the post-training mixture in norm_stats.json.
This model card intentionally does not include direct policy inference code. For ready-to-run depth-reasoning inference, use the fine-tuned MolmoAct2-Think-LIBERO checkpoint.
Model and Hardware Safety
MolmoAct2 generate robot actions from visual observations and language instructions, but their behavior may vary across embodiments, environments, and hardware configurations. Users should carefully validate model outputs before deployment, especially when operating physical robots or other actuated systems. Where possible, actions should be monitored through interpretable intermediate outputs (adaptive depth map), simulation rollouts, action limits, or other safety checks before execution on hardware. The model’s action space should be bounded by the training data, robot controller limits, and task-specific safety constraints, including limits on speed, workspace, torque, and contact force. Users should follow the hardware manufacturer’s safety guidelines, use appropriate emergency-stop mechanisms, and operate the system only in a safely configured environment with human supervision.
