Overview ✨

TODO List 📅

We will release the model code and checkpoints soon. Stay tuned! 🔥

  • Release environment setup
  • Release inference code
  • Release checkpoints
  • Release training scripts

News 📢

  • 2025/11/14 Released the OpenDriveVLA 0.5B checkpoint on Hugging Face. 🌟
  • 2025/11/08 OpenDriveVLA paper accepted by AAAI 2026. 🎉
  • 2025/08/10 OpenDriveVLA model & inference code released. 🔥
  • 2025/04/01 OpenDriveVLA paper is available on arXiv.
  • 2025/03/28 We release the environment setup of OpenDriveVLA.
    • To make the dependencies of our OpenDriveVLA model [mmcv & mmdet3d] compatible with PyTorch 2.1.2 and support Transformers and Deepspeed, we selected specific versions and enhanced the source code accordingly. The resulting customized libraries are available in the third_party folder.

Getting Started 🌟

  1. Environment Installation
  2. Data Preparation
  3. Inference & Evaluatation
