Eliminating ‘Think‑Then‑Act’ Stalls: StreamingVLA Boosts VLA Speed by 2.4×

StreamingVLA introduces action‑flow matching and adaptive early observation to parallelize generation, execution, and perception in vision‑language‑action models, cutting per‑action latency from 49.9 ms to 31.6 ms, reducing stall time 6.5‑fold, and achieving up to 2.4× end‑to‑end speedup in LIBERO benchmarks and real‑world robot tests.
