BlockVLA accelerates autoregressive VLA models by 3.3x using block diffusion finetuning, with faster training convergence and better early performance on long-horizon robotic tasks.
Discrete diffusion policies support native asynchronous execution via unmasking for real-time chunking, delivering higher success rates and 0.7x inference cost versus flow-matching RTC on dynamic robotics benchmarks and real pick tasks.
DMax uses On-Policy Uniform Training and Soft Parallel Decoding to enable aggressive parallelism in dLLMs, raising TPF on GSM8K from 2.04 to 5.47 and on MBPP from 2.71 to 5.86 while preserving accuracy.
Anchor-Centric Adaptation escapes the diversity trap by prioritizing repeated demonstrations at core anchors over broad coverage, yielding higher success rates under fixed data budgets in robotic manipulation.
ReflectDrive-2 combines masked discrete diffusion with RL-aligned self-editing to generate and refine driving trajectories, reaching 91.0 PDMS on NAVSIM camera-only and 94.8 in best-of-6.
A discrete diffusion model tokenizes multimodal robotic data and uses a progress token to predict future states and task completion for scalable policy evaluation.
Legato trains flow-based VLA policies with schedule-shaped action-noise mixtures and randomized conditions to achieve smoother trajectories and ~10% faster task completion than real-time chunking across five real-world manipulation tasks.
AsyncVLA adds asynchronous flow matching and a confidence rater to VLA models so they can generate actions on flexible schedules and selectively refine low-confidence tokens before execution.
