We introduce Being-H0, the first dexterous Vision-Language-Action model pretrained from large-scale human videos via explicit hand motion modeling.

News

• [2025-08-02]: We release the Being-H0 codebase and pretrained models! Check our Hugging Face Model Hub for more details. 🔥🔥🔥
• [2025-07-21]: We publish Being-H0! Check our paper here. 🌟🌟🌟

Dataset

We have provided the dataset for post-training the VLA model. The dataset is available in Hugging Face:

Setup

Clone repository

git clone https://github.com/BeingBeyond/Being-H0.git
cd Being-H0

Create environment

conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate beingvla

Download MANO package

• Visit MANO website
• Create an account by clicking Sign Up and provide your information
• Download Models and Code (the downloaded file should have the format mano_v*_*.zip). Note that all code and data from this download falls under the MANO license.
• Unzip and copy the contents in mano_v*_*/ folder to the beingvla/models/motion/mano/ folder

Inference

Motion Generation

• To generate hand motion tokens and render the motion, you should use the Motion Model (Being-H0-GRVQ-8K) and the pretrained VLA model (Being-H0-{1B,8B,14B}-2508).
• You can use the following command to inference. For the --motion_code_path, you should use a + symbol to jointly specify the wrist and finger motion code paths, e.g., --motion_code_path "/path/to/Being-H0-GRVQ-8K/wrist/+/path/to/Being-H0-GRVQ-8K/finger/".
• The --hand_mode can be set to left, right, or both to specify which hand to use for the task.

python -m beingvla.inference.vla_internvl_inference \
    --model_path /path/to/Being-H0-XXX \
    --motion_code_path "/path/to/Being-H0-GRVQ-8K/wrist/+/path/to/Being-H0-GRVQ-8K/finger/" \
    --input_image ./playground/unplug_airpods.jpg \
    --task_description "unplug the charging cable from the AirPods" \
    --hand_mode both \
    --num_samples 3 \
    --num_seconds 4 \
    --enable_render true \
    --gpu_device 0 \
    --output_dir ./work_dirs/

• To inference on your own photos: See Camera Intrinsics Guide for how to estimate camera intrinsics and input them for custom inference.

Evaluation

• You can use our pretrained VLA model to post-train on real robot data. When you get your post-trained model (e.g., Being-H0-8B-Align-2508), you can use the following commands to communicate with real robot, or evaluate the model on a robot task.

• Setup robot communication:

python -m beingvla.models.motion.m2m.aligner.run_server \
    --model-path /path/to/Being-H0-XXX-Align \
    --port 12305 \
    --action-chunk-length 16

• Run evaluation on robot task:

python -m beingvla.models.motion.m2m.aligner.eval_policy \
    --model-path /path/to/Being-H0-XXX-Align \
    --zarr-path /path/to/real-robot/data \
    --task_description "Put the little white duck into the cup." \
    --action-chunk-length 16

Contributing and Building on Being-H0

We encourage researchers and practitioners to leverage Being-H0 as a foundation for their own creative experiments and applications. Whether you're adapting Being-H0 to new robotic platforms, exploring novel hand manipulation tasks, or extending the model to new domains, our modular codebase is designed to support your innovations. We welcome contributions of all kinds - from bug fixes and documentation improvements to new features and model architectures. By building on Being-H0 together, we can advance the field of dexterous vision-language-action modeling and enable robots to understand and replicate the rich complexity of human hand movements. Join us in making robotic manipulation more intuitive, capable, and accessible to all.
