Implementation of π₀ the robotic foundation model architecture proposed by Physical Intelligence
Summary of this work would be that it is a simplified Transfusion (Zhou et al.) with influence from Stable Diffusion 3 (Esser et al.), mainly the adoption of flow matching instead of diffusion for policy generation, as well as the separation of parameters (Joint Attention from mmDIT). They build on top of a pretrained vision language model, PaliGemma 2B.
$ pip install pi-zero-pytorch
import torch
from pi_zero_pytorch import π0
model = π0(
dim = 512,
dim_action_input = 6,
dim_joint_state = 12,
num_tokens = 20_000
)
vision = torch.randn(1, 1024, 512)
commands = torch.randint(0, 20_000, (1, 1024))
joint_state = torch.randn(1, 12)
actions = torch.randn(1, 32, 6)
loss, _ = model(vision, commands, joint_state, actions)
loss.backward()
# after much training
sampled_actions = model(vision, commands, joint_state, trajectory_length = 32) # (1, 32, 6)
At the project root, run
$ pip install '.[test]' # or `uv pip install '.[test]'`
Then add your tests to tests/test_pi_zero.py
and run
$ pytest tests/
That's it
