Model Card for vla_jepa
VLA-JEPA is a Vision-Language-Action model that combines a Qwen3-VL language backbone with a self-supervised video world model (V-JEPA2) and a flow-matching DiT action head.
This policy has been trained and pushed to the Hub using LeRobot.

How to Get Started with the Model
New to LeRobot? These guides cover the full workflow:
- Install LeRobot — set up the
lerobotpackage. - Hardware setup — assemble, wire, and calibrate your robot and cameras.
- Record data & train a policy — the end-to-end imitation-learning walkthrough.
- CLI cheat-sheet — quick reference for the
lerobot-*commands.
The short version to run and train this policy:
Run the policy on your robot
lerobot-rollout \
--strategy.type=base \
--robot.type=<your_robot_type> \
--robot.port=<your_robot_port> \
--robot.cameras="{ <camera_1>: {type: opencv, index_or_path: <index_or_path>, width: 640, height: 480, fps: 30}, <camera_2>: {type: opencv, index_or_path: <index_or_path>, width: 640, height: 480, fps: 30}}" \
--policy.path=lerobot/VLA-JEPA-Pretrain \
--task="<your_task_description>" \
--duration=60
Replace the remaining <...> placeholders with your own values: --robot.port and the camera names/indices are specific to your machine, and the camera names must match the observation keys this policy was trained on.
When --strategy.type=base is used the script doesn't record the episodes. Skipping duration will make the policy run indefinitely. For more information look at rollout documentation.
Train your own policy
lerobot-train \
--dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/<dataset> \
--policy.type=vla_jepa \
--output_dir=outputs/train/<policy_repo_id> \
--job_name=lerobot_training \
--policy.device=cuda \
--policy.repo_id=${HF_USER}/<policy_repo_id> \
--wandb.enable=true
Writes checkpoints to outputs/train/<policy_repo_id>/checkpoints/.
