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.
The paper introduces a dual‑stream memory architecture for vision‑language‑action policies, separating a task‑agnostic temporal compressor from a task‑conditioned visual retriever. The temporal compressor uses a Gated DeltaNet to condense history into a single token, while the retriever keeps frames above a relevance threshold and fuses them into spatial tokens. Evaluated on sixteen RoboMME tasks and four real‑robot tasks, the combined model outperforms the FrameSamp+Modul baseline, achieving higher mean success rates and notable gains on tasks requiring execution‑stage discrimination.
