Efficient VLA inference: replacing the pi0.5 action expert with a compact Mamba modelExperten

Kleineres Mamba-Modul statt pi0.5-Aktionsexperte: 53 % weniger Latenz, leicht höhere Erfolgsquote

Khuyen Pham, Tran Nguyen Le, Edoardo Fazzari, Cesare StefaniniMBZUAI with Technical University of Denmark

Ersetzt man im Robotermodell pi0.5 von Physical Intelligence das Aktionsmodul mit 311,5 Mio. Parametern durch ein Mamba-Modul mit 29,7 Mio., sinkt die Antwortzeit auf einer H100 von 228,6 auf 107,6 ms (52,9 % schneller), und die Erfolgsquote in LIBERO steigt von 96,72 auf 97,80 %. Das zeigt ein Preprint von MBZUAI und der Technischen Universität Dänemark; auch an einem realen UR5 kam das Modell mit unbekannten Objektpositionen besser zurecht.
