+ # FrameSkip: Learning from Fewer but More Informative Frames in VLA Training

+ [**Paper**](https://huggingface.co/papers/2605.13757) | [**Code**](https://github.com/ZGC-EmbodyAI/FrameSkip) | [**Project Collection**](https://huggingface.co/collections/VLyb/frameskip)

10
+ **FrameSkip** is a training-time frame selection framework for Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models. Instead of treating every frame in a dense robot demonstration trajectory as equally useful supervision, FrameSkip scores trajectory frames with lightweight cues and trains primarily from fewer but more informative frames.
11
+
12
+ FrameSkip is designed as a data-layer intervention: it changes which frames are exposed during training while leaving the VLA architecture, action head, loss function, and inference procedure unchanged.
13
+
14
+ ## Highlights
15
+ - **Efficiency:** Achieves higher success rates while training on a compressed view of trajectories (retaining ~20% of frames).
16
+ - **Architecture-agnostic:** Operates entirely in the dataloader, making it compatible with various VLA architectures.
17
+ - **Importance-guided:** Uses action variation, visual-action coherence, task-progress priors, and gripper-transition preservation to score frames.
18
+
19
+ ## Usage
20
+ FrameSkip is built on the [starVLA](https://github.com/starVLA/starVLA) training and evaluation stack. The released checkpoints follow the standard starVLA checkpoint format and can be loaded in the same way as starVLA VLA policies.
21
+
22
+ For simulation evaluation, please refer to the model loading and evaluation workflow of the **QwenGR00T** architecture in starVLA, and replace the checkpoint path with the downloaded FrameSkip checkpoint.
