TurboVLA: Real-Time Vision-Language-Action Model at 32 Hz on an RTX 4090 with <1 GB VRAM

Vision-language-action (VLA) models commonly adopt an LLM-centric $V \to L \to A$ pathway, where visual observations are projected into the representation space of a large language model before being decoded into robot actions. Although effective, this design incurs substantial computation and memory overhead at every policy invocation.

StreamPI: Streaming Multimodal Temporal Modeling for Vision-Language-Action Models

StreamPI introduces a streaming multimodal temporal modeling framework that enhances Vision‑Language‑Action models by adding temporal reasoning without extra parameters. It anchors each visual observation and language instruction pair as a temporal unit, using bidirectional attention for cross‑modal fusion and causal attention for autoregressive streaming inference. The method employs random‑interval streaming training to improve robustness and leverages the LLM backbone’s length extrapolation to inherit pretrained weights, achieving superior performance over pi0.5 on real‑robot and simulation tasks.
