phase: 3
headline: Multiview eval wired + OOD finetune matrix + towel folding data (low-whoop day)
---

## What we did
- **Meetings** (2): one with Sergey, one with the USC squad. Sergey one was fine. USC one was a bit annoying — advisors seemed checked out.
- **OOD object finetune eval matrix** — ran the {ours, baseline} × {non-finetune, finetune} cells, annotated + compiled
- **Wired in the multiview eval script** end-to-end
- **Collected data for the multiview eval**
- **Worked on the paper overview figure** (binding-framing flow, the Encode → Sample → Decode three-step)
- **Collected towel folding data**
- **Kicked off towel folding training** — will eval tomorrow
- Pitch / framing: locked "Projection-Anchored Robot Actions" as the new PARA expansion + landed the binding framing title

## Reflection
- Off day per whoop, low energy. Two meetings ate the morning. USC advisors checked-out is annoying — worth a small recalibration on what you're actually pulling out of those meetings (decision input? sanity check? air cover? if none, the frequency might be wrong).
- Still shipped a lot for a low-energy day: full OOD finetune eval matrix + multiview infra + towel data + figure work. That's a "shipped despite friction" data point worth noticing — your routine is doing its job.
- Family trip in 9 days. Towel folding result tomorrow is the candidate "cool result to show family."

## Next steps
- Eval towel folding model tomorrow
- Look at multiview eval results
- Continue overview figure (4 tightenings flagged: binding-arrow emphasis, step-2 rename to "Bind...", grip/rot acknowledgment, label cleanup)
- Advisor's two suggested demos (flexible-cameras-at-inference, sim2real/real2sim) — sequenced for Phase 5/6, NOT this week
