FlashVLA · π0.5 · LIBERO
Streaming Action Decoding for Fast and Asynchronous VLA Inference
A π0.5 flow-matching vision-language-action policy finetuned on LIBERO and served with FlashVLA streaming action decoding for fast, asynchronous inference.
- Base model:
lerobot/pi05_base - Method: FlashVLA, streaming action decoding for flow-matching VLAs (async chunk-overlap execution)
- Benchmark: LIBERO (Spatial / Object / Goal / Long)
Results
LIBERO success rate (%) and per-step latency. d is the async step delay:
d=0 is synchronous, d>=1 overlaps the next chunk's inference with robot execution.
| Model | Spatial | Object | Goal | Long | Avg | Time/Step (ms) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| π0.5 (base) | 98.8 | 98.2 | 98.0 | 92.4 | 96.9 | 53.8 |
+FlashVLA (d=0) | 98.6 | 99.0 | 97.8 | 96.2 | 97.9 | — |
+FlashVLA (d=1) | 96.0 | 99.6 | 96.4 | 96.0 | 97.0 | 29.4 (1.83× faster) |
Usage
Install FlashVLA:
git clone https://github.com/z-lab/flashvla.git
cd flashvla
conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate flashvla
LIBERO evaluation needs additional simulator-specific setup, described in
sim_eval/libero/. Once that is in place:
bash sim_eval/libero/eval.sh
Training configs for this checkpoint are in
train/configs/pi05/libero/.
