TESS-Atari Stage 1 - Preprocessed (15Hz, 384x384)

Training-ready version of the 15Hz dataset with images pre-resized to 384x384 (SmolVLM native resolution).

Overview

Metric Value
Source TESS-Computer/atari-vla-stage1-15hz
Samples 1,340,293
Image Size 384x384 (pre-resized)
Action Rate 15 Hz (3 actions per observation)
Format Lumine-style action tokens

Why Preprocessed?

Training VLMs requires resizing images to the model's native resolution. Doing this on-the-fly creates a CPU bottleneck. This dataset has images already resized, giving ~10x faster training:

Raw dataset:     160x210 → resize during training → slow (CPU bound)
Preprocessed:    384x384 → ready to use → fast (GPU saturated)

Action Format

<|action_start|> RIGHT ; RIGHT ; FIRE <|action_end|>
<|action_start|> LEFT ; LEFT ; LEFT <|action_end|>
<|action_start|> NOOP ; UP ; UPFIRE <|action_end|>

Schema

Field Type Description
image_bytes bytes PNG at 384x384 (pre-resized)
action string Lumine-style chunked action token
game string Game name
trial_id int Human player trial number
frame_idx int Frame index in trial
image_size int Always 384

Usage

from datasets import load_dataset
from PIL import Image
from io import BytesIO

# Load preprocessed dataset
ds = load_dataset("TESS-Computer/tess-atari-15hz-384", split="train")

# Images are already 384x384 - no resizing needed!
sample = ds[0]
img = Image.open(BytesIO(sample["image_bytes"]))
print(img.size)  # (384, 384)
print(sample["action"])  # <|action_start|> LEFT ; LEFT ; LEFT <|action_end|>
