Cost-Aware Diffusion Draft Trees for Speculative Decoding
Shuai Zhang, Huachuan Qiu, Hongliang He +1
Speculative decoding accelerates inference by having a lightweight drafter propose tokens verified in parallel by the target language model. Block diffusion drafters such as DFlash…
Latent Bridge: Feature Delta Prediction for Efficient Dual-System Vision-Language-Action Model Inference
Yudong Liu, Yuan Li, Zijia Tang +12
Dual-system Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models achieve state-of-the-art robotic manipulation but are bottlenecked by the VLM backbone, which must execute at every control step whi…
Visual prompting reimagined: The power of the Activation Prompts
Yihua Zhang, Hongkang Li, Yuguang Yao +5
Visual prompting (VP) has emerged as a popular method to repurpose pretrained vision models for adaptation to downstream tasks. Unlike conventional model fine-tuning techniques, VP…
A2Eval: Agentic and Automated Evaluation for Embodied Brain
Shuai Zhang, Jiayu Hu, Zijie Chen +9
Current embodied VLM evaluation relies on static, expert-defined, manually annotated benchmarks that exhibit severe redundancy and coverage imbalance. This labor intensive paradigm…
Bridging VLMs and Embodied Intelligence with Deliberate Practice Policy Optimization
Yi Zhang, Che Liu, Xiancong Ren +17
Developing a universal and versatile embodied intelligence system presents two primary challenges: the critical embodied data bottleneck, where real-world data is scarce and expens…
Pelican-VL 1.0: A Foundation Brain Model for Embodied Intelligence
Yi Zhang, Che Liu, Xiancong Ren +20
This report presents Pelican-VL 1.0, a new family of open-source embodied brain models with parameter scales ranging from 7 billion to 72 billion. Our explicit mission is clearly s…
