🐙 Introducing Octopus

Octopus is a novel VLM designed to proficiently decipher an agent’s vision and textual task objectives and to formulate intricate action sequences and generate executable code. We provide two models based on the following architectures. Please click

• LLaVA
• Otter

🪸 Introducing OctoVerse

OctoVerse contains three sub-worlds

	OS (tested)	Environment Goal
OctoGibson	Ubuntu 20.04	500 Tasks on OmniGibson
OctoGTA	Windows 11	20 Tasks to evaluate transfer learning
OctoMC	Ubuntu/Windows	20 Tasks to evaluate transfer learning on MineCraft worlds, such as making an axe.

• Training data collection pipeline in octogibson environment
• Evaluation pipeline in octogibson environment
• Evaluation pipeline in octogta environment
• Training pipeline of the octopus model

🦾 Updates

[2023-10]

1. 🤗 Introducing Project Octopus' homepage: https://choiszt.github.io/Octopus.
2. 🤗 Check our paper introducing Octopus in details.

🏁 Get Started

1. Training Data Collection: For data collection from octogibson environment, you need to set up two conda environments: omnigibson and gpt4. The omnigibson environment has an agent to act following the instruction from gpt4 environment. Please checkout here for detailed information.
2. Evaluation in OctoGibson: We provide the pipeline that the simulator sends messages to the Octopus server and gets responses to control the agent.
3. Evaluation in OctoGTA: We provide instructions, code, and MOD so that the Octopus can complete tasks in the GTA environment. Please checkout here for detailed information.
4. Octopus Training: We provide code for training Octopus. Please checkout here for detailed information.
