Checkpoint format for fine-tunes
Publish a complete FLUX 3 Action policy package in a Hugging Face repository. The reference package has rootconfig.json, config.native.json, manifest.json, and model.safetensors; include the
weight files selected by the manifest. The root config uses the LeRobot-style type: "flux3".
Keep the checkpoint’s camera names and order, state and action
widths, image layout, chunk size, control rate, normalization, and sampler recipe consistent with
the fine-tuned weights. The importer reads this recipe from config.json; it does not infer or
repair missing values.
The checkpoint recipe includes camera_keys, camera_layout, canvas_hw, chunk_size, fps,
action_scale, gripper_flip_dims, sampler, num_inference_steps, guidance values,
sampler_shift, dtype, and the declared video VAE and text encoder IDs. Keep referenced encoder
assets available at those IDs. The policy package’s config.json and policy_preprocessor.json
must agree on the camera inputs. For the public checkpoint, the source revision is pinned below;
for a fine-tune, inspect and deploy the exact Hugging Face commit you published.
Inspect the input contract
Inspection reads metadata and small config files, not model weights. The public checkpoint declares three RGB image arrays and an eight-value state array. Its image keys areobservation.images.wrist_image_left, observation.images.exterior_image_1_left, and
observation.images.exterior_image_2_left; inspection shows their shapes and the state key. A
fine-tuned package can declare different inputs, so inspect that revision before connecting the
robot’s cameras:
inspect_checkpoint.py
Deploy
Deploy the pinned public checkpoint to any enrolled robot supported by the policy contract:your computer
Import and deploy a fine-tune
Import the fine-tune at the same pinned revision you inspected, then deploy the returned model ID:your computer
hf:// path as shown above. For a
fine-tuned package, keep its policy inputs, recipe, and referenced encoder assets together at the
revision you import.
Send observations and receive actions
Use the contract’s exact keys and tensor shapes when constructingSession.predict(inputs=...).
The quickstart prints the deployed policy’s resolved keys, shapes,
and dtypes before its prediction example.
