StreamPI is proposed, a streaming multimodal temporal modeling framework that equips single-frame VLA with temporal reasoning capability without introducing any additional parameters and seamlessly inherits pretrained single-frame weights and supports flexible single-frame and multi-frame inference.
Abstract
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have demonstrated effectiveness in robot manipulation, yet state-of-the-art models such as pi0.5 operate under a single-frame paradigm, limiting their ability to retain past observations and develop precise spatial perception. In this paper, we propose StreamPI, a streaming multimodal temporal modeling framework that equips single-frame VLA with temporal reasoning capability without introducing any additional parameters. One core design is instruction-anchored temporal modeling. It treats each (visual observation, language instruction) pair as an atomic temporal unit: bidirectional attention within each pair enables cross-modal fusion, while causal attention across pairs preserves autoregressive streaming inference. This ensures the language instruction serves as a persistent semantic anchor throughout task execution. To bridge the gap between synchronous training and asynchronous real-robot deployment, we introduce a andom-interval streaming training strategy: a proper inter-frame interval (e.g., every 3 frames) enables faster and smoother action execution. Beyond this, randomizing the interval further improves robustness to frame-timing perturbations, supporting asynchronous deployment in practice. Furthermore, by leveraging the length extrapolation capability of the LLM backbone, StreamPI seamlessly inherits pretrained single-frame weights and supports flexible single-frame and multi-frame inference. Experiments on real-robot tasks spanning memory-dependent and precise perception scenarios, as well as the simulation benchmark LIBERO, demonstrate that StreamPI outperforms pi0.5 across diverse tasks.
G0.5 is introduced, a pretrained autoregressive VLA in which a single transformer decoder emits reasoning and action tokens under a single objective, which exceeds state-of-the-art models across 7 independent regimes.

Vision-language-action models (VLAs), which leverage the cognition of multimodal information to infer physical-world actions, provide a generalized solution for embodied AI applications. Conventional VLAs usually concentrate on current digital cognition. While some efforts are made to enhance VLAs'reasoning capabilities by capturing temporal information, encoding the long-context history causes an efficiency-decreasing issue. To reconcile the conflict between capturing temporal information and maintaining inference efficiency in VLAs, this paper introduces FibVLA, an efficient framework featuring temporal perception of long-context history. Specifically, we leverage logarithmic hindsight sampling to both proprioceptive states and visual frames to capture long-term temporal dependencies with minimal redundancy. For the action expert, we introduce the flow matching to produce action distributions, and the Fibonacci recurrent inference strategy to generate long-range planning steps based on real-time closed-loop feedback. Experiments demonstrate that FibVLA significantly improves action smoothness and success rates without retraining large-scale visual encoders. Efficiency analysis demonstrates superior real-time responsiveness compared to video-based baselines in real-world evaluations.

Temporal logic (TL) provides a compositional language for the formulation of long horizon robotic tasks, but existing TL-conditioned trajectory generators can sidestep perception-to-symbol binding by encoding exact object geometry in the task graph. We introduce \emph{Vision-TL-Action}, which generates action trajectories from multi-view images, a coordinate-free TL syntax graph, and the robot initial state. TL-node tokens and spatial visual tokens are fused through bidirectional cross-attention, and the resulting representation conditions a flow-matching trajectory generator. Visual tokens are augmented only with normalized image-plane locations and camera-view identifiers, while a training-only predicate-to-region objective encourages grounding to referenced objects. Consistent with prior work in this domain, we evaluate the model using Success@$K$, the fraction of tasks for which at least one of K sampled trajectories satisfies the TL specification. On Panda task, our model achieves 67.45% Success@1024, compared with 59.11% for the oracle-state baseline. On AntMaze task, it achieves 96.35% Success@256, comparable to the oracle result of 96.88%. Resolution and intervention studies show that spatial detail depends on semantic grounding and predicate identity affects both attention and performance. These results demonstrate a direct mapping from visual observations and structured TL goals to action trajectories without requiring object geometry at inference.
