VFlash: Fast, Accurate Visual Planning via Flash Primitive Decoding

VFlash: Fast, Accurate Visual Planning via Flash Primitive Decoding

Summary

This research introduces VFlash, a method for fast and accurate visual planning in physical AI tasks like robotics and autonomous driving. By exploiting the structure of visual primitives, VFlash predicts coordinates jointly using a lightweight drafter, supporting compact boxes and variable-length trajectories without requiring exact token sequence reproduction. Evaluated on 2D and 3D robot trajectory tasks, VFlash reduces prediction errors relative to autoregressive decoding. Preliminary measurements indicate approximately 25x faster generation for 3D point motion forecasting in single-rollout scenarios. A world action model conditioned on VFlash plans achieves 70.2% average success across four MolmoSpaces task suites, compared with 62.6% for the baseline.

Editorial context

The paper introduces VFlash, a method using Flash Primitive Decoding to jointly predict visual plan coordinates for robotics and autonomous driving tasks, reporting approximately 25x faster generation in single-rollout measurements and improved success rates on MolmoSpaces task suites compared to autoregressive baselines.

ally, spatial accuracy need not require reproducing an autoregressive model's exact token sequence. VFlash therefore trains on annotated primitives and directly accepts structurally valid predictions without target-token agreement. Across the evaluated 2D and 3D robot trajectory tasks, VFlash consistently reduces prediction errors relative to autoregressive decoding. Preliminary single-rollout measurements indicate a
