+# intercept QwenOFT H1 mean-profile VLA
+
+Training complete:5000 optimizer updates, seed0, globalbatch128, microbatch64 perGPU, accumulation1, gradientcheckpointingTrue, BF16/ZeRO2. Hardware:2 RTX PRO6000 Blackwell GPUs. Fixed mean99.05021289731565ms uses originalRTX3090 profile; all actual science/runtime settings and user-authorized throughput changes are recorded in config.full.yaml/launch_audit.json. Horizon1, native state/action dimensions7/7.
+
+Puretensor weights checkCPUweights_only/allfinite passed. Portable inferenceconfig, normalization/statistics, taskcontract, sourcecode/profile/data provenance included. Full optimizer recovery remains local. Finalofflinevalidation loss0.03070492297410965; this is not closed-loop task-performance acceptance. Latency-bench evaluation pending until all four models finish.

+Qwen-OFT Framework
+
+A lightweight implementation that uses an action special token to parallelly predict continuous actions
+conditioned on multi-view images plus a language instruction (shares parameters with the VLM).
+Inspired by OpenVLA-OFT
+Key Points:
+  - Qwen2.5 vision-language backbone
+  - Injects an action special token into the VLM
+  - Continuous action prediction via L1 regression over the action special token hidden states
+
+
+Note: How to add special tokens to Qwen2.5:
+  download our model checkpoint with special tokens added: https://huggingface.co/StarVLA/Qwen2.5-VL-3B-Instruct-Action
+  or /starVLA/model/modules/vlm/tools/add_qwen_special_tokens/README.md （adpat a little code)

+StarVLA’s trainer is built directly on native PyTorch + Accelerate + DeepSpeed, keeping the loop explicit and easy to hack.
+Conventions:
+1. Store runtime state in dicts where possible (simplifies data info, procesing info, config, etc).
+2. Use multiple dataloaders to adapt heterogeneous data types / task mixtures.
+3. Put each training strategy in its own `trainer_*.py` file (avoid large if‑else chains).
