LeRobot v0.6.0 adds world models, new VLAs, and improved datasets

LeRobot v0.6.0 has been released, introducing significant advancements in robotics AI. The update features new world model policies like VLA-JEPA, FastWAM, and LingBot-VA, which enable robots to "imagine" future scenarios. It also expands the model zoo with several new Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models, including GR00T N1.7 and MolmoAct2, and introduces a new API for reward models. Enhancements to the dataset pipeline include faster loading and depth support, alongside new simulation benchmarks and improved training capabilities. AI

IMPACT Enhances capabilities for robotics research and development by enabling more sophisticated world modeling and vision-language-action integration.

RANK_REASON This is a software release for a robotics framework, not a frontier model release.
