August 2025 was focused on delivering a robust v1 data ingestion and processing stack for ManifoldRG/MultiNet, aligning data acquisition, standardization, and testing with scalable OpenX and ODinW workflows. Key outcomes included a new v1 downloader with hierarchical handling and pre-download sampling, standardization and processing consolidation, and the removal of redundant code paths to streamline the pipeline. OpenX and AI-model integration matured with RAM-efficient translation, enhanced dataloader, MAE calculations, and improved prompt handling, while large-scale dataset strategies for ODinW and OpenX sampling improved throughput and reliability. We also extended 2D processing to support Scannet .ply inputs and added headless rendering for streamlined rendering pipelines. Finally, testing and quality improved through fixtures for Overcooked/OpenX/SQA3D, test-ID based PiQA indexing, and a set of stability fixes addressing memory usage, edge cases, and API compatibility.
