MolmoAct2 provides a foundation for open research into robotics. It is associated with its own open dataset, an open-data action tokenizer, and a reasoning variant which predicts depth tokens. And people have actually been using it across the community, running experiments in their own labs or homes. Haoquan Fang an...
