Record, train, and deploy from one place with Strands Agents, LeRobot, and Hugging Face Storage Buckets

Strands Robots added a continuous data loop that records robot demonstrations into Hugging Face Storage Buckets, streams the same LeRobot-formatted dataset back for training, and deploys the resulting policy checkpoint back to hardware. The Storage Bucket uses Xet with byte-level deduplication, and changing 10% of a 500 MB upload results in 55 MB transferred instead of re-uploading the full file. This shifts the workflow to avoid repeated full dataset downloads and repeated full byte uploads, since each daily sync only sends the changed shards and the training reads data directly from the Hub.
