VLA-Precision: Asymmetric Co-Bootstrapping for Efficient Real-World Online RL of Vision-Language-Action Models

VLA-Precision introduces an efficient real‑world online reinforcement learning framework for vision‑language‑action (VLA) models, featuring the Asymmetric Co‑Bootstrapping (ACoB) algorithm and the ACoB‑Stream architecture. ACoB uses asymmetric co‑bootstrapping across timescales to rapidly improve policy performance while refining value estimates, thereby reducing policy drift. ACoB‑Stream enables large VLA models to run with up to 10.9× higher throughput and computational efficiency, achieving a 98.3 % mean success rate on nine high‑precision chemistry tasks in under 46 minutes per task.

ComputerSD: Online Self-Distillation from Real-Time Feedback for Computer-Use Agents

ComputerSD is an online self‑distillation method for computer‑use agents that leverages real‑time feedback from executed GUI transitions. It uses a fine‑tuned GUI analyzer to generate guidance and a step‑level value score after each action, combining token‑level OPSD with trajectory‑level GRPO in an asynchronous training framework. On the OSWorld‑Verified benchmark, ComputerSD improves performance over outcome‑only GRPO by 1.9 and 4.1 percentage points on Qwen3‑VL‑8B‑Thinking and EvoCUA‑8B backbones, and shows strong generalizability in out‑of‑distribution tests.

Improving Online Reinforcement Learning via Bidirectional Behavior Prior Distillation

The paper introduces Bidirectional Behavior Prior Distillation (B2PD), a method that uses action‑value priors to train a conditional variational autoencoder for generating high‑value behavior support. These expert behavior priors are then distilled into the online reinforcement learning agent, reducing inefficient exploration and stabilizing policy updates. Experiments on state‑ and pixel‑based tasks show that B2PD improves sample efficiency while maintaining stable learning dynamics.
