The largest tenth of the LeRobot community corpus holds half its episodes, and the smallest quarter holds one fiftieth

What is in the release

Every row is read out of the release. Nothing here is estimated and nothing is rounded up.

Nothing here is a defect. A one episode upload is someone trying the format, which is what a community corpus is for. The point is what the distribution does to anyone who treats the 1,755 as 1,755.

Why this matters

Counted by dataset this looks like 1,755 datasets and 488 contributors. Counted by episode it is close to one arm family at one frame rate, and half of it sits in a tenth of the releases. Anyone sampling uniformly across datasets, rather than across episodes, will spend a quarter of their sampling budget on 1.2% of the data.

How to check this without taking our word for it

Read meta/info.json under any root for fps, robot_type and the action shape, and meta/episodes.jsonl for the episode count. No credentials, and no parquet has to be downloaded.

What a full grading adds

This page is what the release tells you on its own. A full grading removes the part that scores worst, retrains on what is left, and reports whether the smaller corpus scores higher, with rollout counts and intervals. The one result measured on physical hardware is Stera-10M, two arms on a four arm SO-ARM101 bench, 21.9% against 36.9% task success across 1,270 rollouts. The Stera-10M report.
