The paper introduces 2AM, a system that keeps task memory solely within a multimodal Agent while using a single RGB‑based, stateless Action Model to execute motions. By compiling interaction history into subtask language and optional 2D grasp/place/move hints, the Agent steers the Action Model, which is trained to tolerate imperfect guidance through dropout, noise, and jitter. On the LIBERO‑Mem benchmark, 2AM achieves 76.3% average completion without depth, geometry, or planners, vastly outperforming the best baseline.

LM‑X is a generalist vision‑language‑action policy that augments action prediction with three online, explicitly supervised signals: return‑to‑go (RTG) for task progress, event‑to‑go (ETG) for the next semantic transition, and heteroscedastic action flow for local reliability. By conditioning action generation on these signals, LM‑X embeds explainability directly into control rather than as a post‑hoc explanation. After a 20‑day pretraining run on 64 GPUs, LM‑X outperforms an action‑only backbone by 16.0 points and a single‑head variant by 10.8 points, and achieves 74.1 % success on 50 RoboTwin2.0 tasks and 68.6 % on seven real‑robot tasks, surpassing the GR00T N1.7 baseline.

arXiv:2601. 20334v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Robotic manipulation has increasingly adopted vision-language-action (VLA) models, which achieve strong performance but typically require task-specific demonstrations and fine-tuning, and often generalize poorly under domain shift.
