## MolmoAct2-BimanualYAM Inference (NEW)

The same Reflex SaaS auth + billing flow now powers **MolmoAct2-BimanualYAM**,
an 8B vision-language-action model from AI2 fine-tuned for bimanual YAM arms.
Same `rfx_*` API key, same per-second billing, different `baseModel`:

```bash
pip install requests numpy pillow
export REFLEX_API_KEY="rfx_..."
python3 quickstart_molmoact.py
```

This script verifies in under 1 second that:

| Section | What it proves |
|---|---|
| **§1 Authorize** | API key authenticates → Convex picks a live Modal worker (us-west B200) → signs a 30-min HMAC session token |
| **§2 Worker health** | Authenticated GET to the Modal worker — proves the worker is up + reachable |

If you want the **closed-loop bimanual YAM demo** (arms move from camera observations):

```bash
git clone https://github.com/reflex-inc/reflex
cd reflex/sdk/python && pip install -e .

# Connect to your YAM arms + 3 cameras via the cloud BASELINE worker
reflex connect --config ../../examples/yam_bimanual_molmoact2_BASELINE.yaml
```

**Pricing:** $10/hr × actual GPU-seconds (≈ $0.001 per 200ms inference call).
**Quality:** WebRTC + adaptive JPEG q=95 — visually lossless (PSNR 38.8 dB vs raw).
**Latency:** ~220 ms p50 RTT from residential WAN to us-west.

See [§MolmoAct2 architecture](#molmoact2-bimanualyam-architecture) below for the
worker setup, primeNode pool, and HMAC session-token verification details.

================================================================================
Reflex Labs — MolmoAct2-BimanualYAM Quickstart
================================================================================

End-to-end proof that the paid SDK auth + inference works for the
MolmoAct2-BimanualYAM 8B VLA model on the Reflex cloud.

WHAT THIS PROVES (in order)
1. Your API key authenticates against Convex (publicApi:authorizeSession)
2. Convex picks a live Modal worker (us-west, B200) and signs a 30-min
HMAC session token
3. You connect to the Modal worker WebRTC endpoint with the token
4. The worker HMAC-validates offline (zero per-call overhead)
5. You send a synthetic observation (state + 3 cameras) and get back
a 30-step × 14-DOF action chunk
6. Billing increments per GPU-second consumed ($10/hr inference rate)

PREREQUISITES
• Reflex API key (mint at https://app.tryreflex.ai/keys)
• >= $5 balance on your org
• Python 3.10+

INSTALL (run once)
pip install requests numpy pillow

RUN
export REFLEX_API_KEY="rfx_..."
python3 quickstart_molmoact.py

EXIT CODES
0 authorize + inference both succeeded
1 authorize failed (bad key / no balance / no node)
2 inference call failed
