Vesta: A Generalist Embodied Reasoning Model
Johan Bjorck, Zhiqi Li, Yunze Man +29
Robots operating in open-world environments must seamlessly integrate localization, spatial reasoning, navigation, and long-horizon planning. While specialist models excel at indiv…
Planning-aligned Token Compression for Long-Context Autonomous Driving
Zhixuan Liang, Yuxiao Chen, Yurong You +12
Monolithic vision-action models represent an emerging paradigm in autonomous driving. However, this architecture produces token sequences that quickly exceed real-time computationa…
Nemotron 3 Nano Omni: Efficient and Open Multimodal Intelligence
NVIDIA, :, Amala Sanjay Deshmukh +204
We introduce Nemotron 3 Nano Omni, the latest model in the Nemotron multimodal series and the first to natively support audio inputs alongside text, images, and video. Nemotron 3 N…
Accelerating Structured Chain-of-Thought in Autonomous Vehicles
Yi Gu, Yan Wang, Yuxiao Chen +8
Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning enhances the decision-making capabilities of vision-language-action models in autonomous driving, but its autoregressive nature introduces signific…
Counterfactual VLA: Self-Reflective Vision-Language-Action Model with Adaptive Reasoning
Zhenghao "Mark" Peng, Wenhao Ding, Yurong You +11
Recent reasoning-augmented Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have improved the interpretability of end-to-end autonomous driving by generating intermediate reasoning traces. Yet…
Towards Efficient and Effective Multi-Camera Encoding for End-to-End Driving
Jiawei Yang, Ziyu Chen, Yurong You +7
We present Flex, an efficient and effective scene encoder that addresses the computational bottleneck of processing high-volume multi-camera data in end-to-end autonomous driving.…
