Install

Option 1: quick pip install

pip install -U rewardgen

Option 2: use uv for dependency management

# 1) Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/Philip-MIT/rewardgen

# 2) Install `uv`
pip install uv

# 3) Sync environment
cd rewardgen
uv sync

# 4) Activate environment
source .venv/bin/activate

Optional: Pre-download model checkpoints

# SOLE-R1 (8B) 
python -c "from rewardgen.utils.model_utils import get_model_dir; get_model_dir('sole-r1')"

# Robometer (4B)
python -c "from rewardgen.utils.model_utils import get_model_dir; get_model_dir('robometer')"

# TOPReward (based on Qwen3-VL-8B)
python -c "from rewardgen.utils.model_utils import get_model_dir; get_model_dir('topreward')"

# RoboReward (8B)
python -c "from rewardgen.utils.model_utils import get_model_dir; get_model_dir('roboreward')"

> **Note:** Robometer is ~8GB. SOLE-R1, RoboReward, and TOPReward are ~17GB each.

Optional: Download all test videos and example model outputs

# 1) Install gcloud: https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/install

# 2) Go to target directory
# cd /path/to/rewardgen

# Optional: disable credentials so you don't have to authenticate
gcloud config set auth/disable_credentials True

# Download test videos
gcloud storage cp --recursive gs://roboreason-view-videos-philip/test_videos ./

# Download model outputs for all test videos
gcloud storage cp --recursive gs://roboreason-view-videos-philip/model_outputs ./

# Optional: re-enable credentials afterward if you disabled them above.
gcloud config set auth/disable_credentials False

Quick start: Example reward generation and plotting

# pip install -U rewardgen
from rewardgen import generate, video_plot

task_description = "Pick up the cube from the table."

# Robometer
response = generate(model="Robometer",  task_description=task_description, video_paths_external_view=video_paths_external_view,  verbose=False)
print(response.rewards)
print(response.success_probs)
output_robometer = {"model": "Robometer", "rewards": response.rewards[0]}

# SOLE-R1
response = generate(model="SOLE-R1",  task_description=task_description, video_paths_external_view=video_paths_external_view, video_paths_wrist_view=video_paths_wrist_view, verbose=False)
print(response.rewards)
print(response.output_text)
output_sole = {"model": "SOLE-R1", "rewards": response.rewards[0], "output_text": response.output_text[0]}

# Optional: Ground-truth rewards (available for test videos from sim environments)
import json
with open('test_videos/robosuite/lift/unsuccessful/robosuite_lift_episode_11_unsuccessful_max_reward_37/data.json', 'r') as f:
    data = json.load(f)

output_groundtruth = {"model": "Ground truth", "rewards": data['ground-truth rewards']}

# Plot
video_plot(outputs=[output_groundtruth, output_sole, output_robometer], plot_save_path='model_outputs/combined/robosuite/lift/unsuccessful/robosuite_lift_episode_11_unsuccessful_max_reward_37.mp4', video_view_external_path=video_paths_external_view[0], video_view_wrist_path=video_paths_wrist_view[0], task_description=task_description)

Reward generation and plotting across many videos

from rewardgen import generate
import glob
import json

video_paths = glob.glob('test_videos/robosuite/lift/unsuccessful/*.mp4')
task_description = "Pick up the cube from the table."

## REWARD GENERATION
# SOLE-R1 for all videos
response = generate(model="SOLE-R1",  task_description=task_description, video_paths=video_paths, view_type='external and wrist')

## PLOTTING
plot_save_dir = 'model_outputs/sole-r1/'
for video_idx in range(len(video_paths)):
    output_sole = {"model": "SOLE-R1", "rewards": response.rewards[video_idx]}
    # Optional: Ground-truth rewards (available for test videos from sim environments)
    with open(video_paths[video_idx].replace(".mp4", "/data.json"), 'r') as f:
        data = json.load(f)
    
    output_groundtruth = {"model": "Ground truth", "rewards": data['ground-truth rewards']}
    video_plot(
        outputs = [output_groundtruth, output_sole], 
        plot_save_path = plot_save_dir + video_paths[video_idx].split('test_videos/')[-1] , 
        video_path = video_paths[video_idx],
        task_description=task_description,
