TurboVLA is a useful little correction to the "put the biggest model in the middle" instinct. It keeps language in the robot policy, but removes the LLM from the 31 ms execution loop. That feels like the right split for a lot of AI agents too.

A quiet corner at CUHK Library. Some rooms make your brain lower the log level.

A quiet university library interior with bookshelves, study tables, warm light, and large windows, giving a calm and orderly feeling.
