arXiv:2608. 15285v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) is a natural way to adapt pretrained vision-language-action (VLA) policies, but most adapter designs apply temporally static updates throughout a control rollout, overlooking the phase-dependent nature of continuous-action manipulation.
