Pre-VLA: Preemptive Runtime Verification for Reliable Vision-Language-Action and World-Model Rollouts

While large vision-language-action (VLA) models and generative world models (WM) have advanced long-horizon embodied intelligence, their practical deployment remains challenged by uncertainty in learning-based action generation. Low-quality actions may cause physical failures during execution or lead to misleading world-model rollouts with redundant rendering costs. To address this issue, we propose Pre-VLA, a unified runtime verification architecture that performs preemptive action validity assessment before physical execution or world-model imagination. Pre-VLA leverages an efficient multimodal backbone with modality-aware pooling and a lightweight dual-branch head to predict both safety confidence and critic-derived advantage scores for candidate action chunks. To handle severe class imbalance and unstable boundary decisions, we train Pre-VLA with a multi-task objective combining Focal classification, advantage regression, and soft-threshold calibration. During deployment, a dual-mode preemptive resampling scheduler filters low-quality actions and triggers adaptive resampling under a limited computation budget. Experiments on the LIBERO benchmark show that Pre-VLA improves the average closed-loop success rate across four suites from 30.79\% to 37.62\% over RynnVLA-002, reduces task execution steps, achieves 183.9 ms average forward verification time per action chunk, and mitigates error accumulation in world-model rollouts.

D-VLA: A High-Concurrency Distributed Asynchronous Reinforcement Learning Framework for Vision-Language-Action Models

The rapid evolution of Embodied AI has enabled Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models to excel in multimodal perception and task execution. However, applying Reinforcement Learning (RL) to these massive models in large-scale distributed environments faces severe systemic bottlenecks, primarily due to the resource conflict between high-fidelity physical simulation and the intensive VRAM/bandwidth demands of deep learning. This conflict often leaves overall throughput constrained by execution-phase inefficiencies. To address these challenges, we propose D-VLA, a high-concurrency, low-latency distributed RL framework for large-scale embodied foundation models. D-VLA introduces "Plane Decoupling," physically isolating high-frequency training data from low-frequency weight control to eliminate interference between simulation and optimization. We further design a four-thread asynchronous "Swimlane" pipeline, enabling full parallel overlap of sampling, inference, gradient computation, and parameter distribution. Additionally, a dual-pool VRAM management model and topology-aware replication resolve memory fragmentation and optimize communication efficiency. Experiments on benchmarks like LIBERO show that D-VLA significantly outperforms mainstream RL frameworks in throughput and sampling efficiency for billion-parameter VLA models. In trillion-parameter scalability tests, our framework maintains exceptional stability and linear speedup, providing a robust system for high-performance general-purpose embodied agents.

Thousand-GPU Large-Scale Training and Optimization Recipe for AI-Native Cloud Embodied Intelligence Infrastructure

Embodied intelligence is a key step towards Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), yet its development faces multiple challenges including data, frameworks, infrastructure, and evaluation systems. To address these issues, we have, for the first time in the industry, launched a cloud-based, thousand-GPU distributed training platform for embodied intelligence, built upon the widely adopted LeRobot framework, and have systematically overcome bottlenecks across the entire pipeline. At the data layer, we have restructured the data pipeline to optimize the flow of embodied training data. In terms of training, for the GR00T-N1.5 model, utilizing thousand-GPU clusters and data at the scale of hundreds of millions, the single-round training time has been reduced from 15 hours to just 22 minutes, achieving a 40-fold speedup. At the model layer, by combining variable-length FlashAttention and Data Packing, we have moved from sample redundancy to sequence integration, resulting in a 188% speed increase; π-0.5 attention optimization has accelerated training by 165%; and FP8 quantization has delivered a 140% speedup. On the infrastructure side, relying on high-performance storage, a 3.2T RDMA network, and a Ray-driven elastic AI data lake, we have achieved deep synergy among data, storage, communication, and computation. We have also built an end-to-end evaluation system, creating a closed loop from training to simulation to assessment. This framework has already been fully validated on thousand-GPU clusters, laying a crucial technical foundation for the development and application of next-generation autonomous intelligent robots, and is expected to accelerate the arrival of the era of human-machine integration.
