Fine-tuning open source models on the RoboTalk dataset achieves a 77% success rate on novel held-out tasks.[^1]

The dataset includes a leader-follower planning protocol, tool calls for perception, manipulation, navigation and communication. It also contains rationale traces and diversified natural language examples.[^2]

This is a benchmark result only. No deployed production implementations using this fine tuning approach have been documented.
