LAGOON: Language-Guided Motion Control

We aim to control a robot to physically behave in the real world following any high-level language command like "cartwheel" or "kick". Although human motion datasets exist, this task remains particularly challenging since generative models can produce physically unrealistic motions, which will be more severe for robots due to different body structures and physical properties. Deploying such a motion to a physical robot can cause even greater difficulties due to the sim2real gap. We develop LAnguage-Guided mOtion cONtrol (LAGOON), a multi-phase reinforcement learning (RL) method to generate physically realistic robot motions under language commands. LAGOON first leverages a pretrained model to generate a human motion from a language command. Then an RL phase trains a control policy in simulation to mimic the generated human motion. Finally, with domain randomization, our learned policy can be deployed to a quadrupedal robot, leading to a quadrupedal robot that can take diverse behaviors in the real world under natural language commands

BitNet: Scaling 1-bit Transformers for Large Language Models

The increasing size of large language models has posed challenges for deployment and raised concerns about environmental impact due to high energy consumption. In this work, we introduce BitNet, a scalable and stable 1-bit Transformer architecture designed for large language models. Specifically, we introduce BitLinear as a drop-in replacement of the nn.Linear layer in order to train 1-bit weights from scratch. Experimental results on language modeling show that BitNet achieves competitive performance while substantially reducing memory footprint and energy consumption, compared to state-of-the-art 8-bit quantization methods and FP16 Transformer baselines. Furthermore, BitNet exhibits a scaling law akin to full-precision Transformers, suggesting its potential for effective scaling to even larger language models while maintaining efficiency and performance benefits.
