DySL-VLA: Efficient Vision-Language-Action Model Inference via Dynamic-Static Layer-Skipping for Robot Manipulation

Z. Yang, Y. Qi, T. Xie, B. Yu, S. Liu, M. Li

Dynamic-static layer-skipping for vision-language-action models: adaptive layer bypass based on task requirements and motion significance, with 85.7× fewer trainable parameters than full fine-tuning.

Faster-MoA: Low-Latency Tree-Structured MoA Serving with Early Exit and Agent-Aware Prefill-Decode Overlap

Z. Wang*, Y. Qi*, H. Chen, Z. Wan

Accelerating Mixture-of-Agents serving with a tree-structured aggregation architecture, semantic-similarity-based early exit, and agent-aware prefill-decode overlap — 10× faster inference with only ±1% accuracy variation.
