 This checkpoint is a **preview** of the MolmoAct release. All artifacts used in creating MolmoAct (data, training code, evaluations, intermediate checkpoints) will be made available at a later date, furthering our commitment to open-source AI development and reproducibility.
 
+**Update:** Checkpoints are now stored in FP32 (previously BF16). The model was trained in FP32, so publishing FP32 weights aligns with training and enables fine-tuning or continued training directly from this repo. For inference, you can still run BF16 by casting at load, which is what we did for evaluations. See more in the [instructions](#quick-start) below.
