Future Sight PushT

Future Sight PushT is a wind tunnel for studying how training-data scale and composition affect world-model learning and generalization. It pairs large passively collected corpora with smaller, iterative active-exploration corpora in a common PushT environment. This controlled setting helps isolate those effects from the scale and potential contamination of large, heterogeneous datasets.

Collection preview

Passive collection

Expert PPO, perturbation and recovery, random walk, and random actions: four ways to collect large training corpora with different behavior distributions.

Active exploration

AIM, DADS, DIAYN, ICM, and METRA: smaller collections produced by task-specific exploration methods. The selected AIM episode is from iteration 1; DADS, DIAYN, ICM, and METRA are from iteration 4.

Both videos show selected recorded trajectories, up to 100 frames each. Playback is 10 display frames/s; short episodes repeat, with the frame counter marking each restart. This display rate does not specify collection frequency. These clips illustrate individual trajectories, not aggregate performance or coverage.

Still figures at the 5-second display point: passive PNG · PDF; active PNG · PDF.

Dataset at a glance

Passive training Active training Evaluation
Episodes ≈1.21 million 17,000 400
Compressed size 486.249 GB 8.901 GB 0.239 GB

Active episode counts include all five collection iterations and both AIM ablations. Each evaluation collection contains 100 episodes. Passive counts are rounded; all sizes are compressed decimal GB.

The previewed training corpora use 144×144 RGB PNG observations and six-dimensional continuous actions and a single camera view. Trajectories are stored as TFRecords, with JSON corpus metadata and CSV per-trajectory metadata. Evaluation records use the same decoded RGB/action dimensions and additionally include PNG segmentation.

Collection guide

Passive collections represent data that can be gathered at scale:

Collection Behavior Episodes Compressed size
Expert PPO Task-directed expert trajectories ≈307,000 56.976 GB
Recovery Policy rollouts with perturbations and recovery ≈300,000 118.956 GB
Random walk Temporally correlated random actions ≈300,000 156.312 GB
Uniform random Uniform random actions ≈300,000 154.005 GB

Active collections represent smaller, task-specific exploration rounds. Each method has five corpora, iter-0 through iter-4, and each iteration has eight shards.

Method Role Episodes, all five iterations Compressed size
AIM Action Influence Maximization 5,000 2.667 GB
AIM no-MI AIM mutual-information ablation 5,000 2.617 GB
AIM no-SN AIM spectral-normalization ablation 5,000 2.631 GB
DADS Dynamics-Aware Discovery of Skills 500 0.260 GB
DIAYN Diversity Is All You Need 500 0.223 GB
ICM Intrinsic Curiosity Module 500 0.244 GB
METRA Metric-aware abstraction 500 0.260 GB

Evaluation data is separate from training data:

Corpus Behavior Episodes
BC Behavior-cloned policy rollouts 100
BC failures Alternating expert and push-away controller segments 100
PushAway Push-away controller rollouts 100
Interaction Human teleoperation with simulator segmentation masks 100

manifest.json

manifest.json records every archive path, byte size, and SHA-256 checksum. Sizes above are compressed decimal GB; extraction requires additional disk space.

Install the Hugging Face CLI, then download only the data needed for an experiment. For one archive:

hf download smbml/future-sight-pusht evaluation/bc/shard_0.tar.zst \
  --repo-type dataset --local-dir ./future-sight-pusht

For one complete active-exploration iteration:

hf download smbml/future-sight-pusht \
  --repo-type dataset \
  --include "active-exploration/aim/iter-0/*.tar.zst" \
  --local-dir ./future-sight-pusht

Add --revision FULL_COMMIT_HASH to pin a reproducible snapshot. Download manifest.json at the same revision when verifying sizes or checksums.

Extract and read

With GNU tar and zstd installed:

mkdir -p ./future-sight-data
tar --zstd -xf ./future-sight-pusht/evaluation/bc/shard_0.tar.zst \
  -C ./future-sight-data

This creates future-sight-data/pusht_bc_1pct_n100/ with TFRecords and metadata. Archive paths organize downloads; extracted top-level directory names reflect the corpus stored in each archive.

For sharded training corpora, extract each shard into a separate directory so shard-local metadata files do not overwrite one another. Read the TFRecords and metadata from all eight directories to use a complete iteration or passive corpus.
