View sourceRecent robot foundation models operate with single-step or short-history visuomotor context. We introduce Test-Time-Training Robot Policies (RoboTTT), a robot model and training recipe that scale visuomotor context to 8K timesteps, three orders of magnitude beyond state-of-the-art policies, without growing inference latency. At this context length, we unlock new robot capabilities: one-shot in-context imitation from human video demonstrations, on-the-fly policy improvement, robustness to perturbations, and stronger performance on multi-stage, long-horizon tasks. We also observe, for the first time, steady gains in closed-loop performance as pretraining context length scales. At its core, RoboTTT integrates Test-Time Training into robot foundation models such as Vision-Language-Action policies, yielding a sequence model whose recurrent state consists of fast weights, parameters updated by gradient descent during both training and inference, compressing histories into weight space and retrieving contextual information for long-context conditioning. To scale training context length, the recipe combines sequence action forcing with truncated backpropagation through time. On challenging real-robot manipulation tasks, RoboTTT improves overall performance by 87% over the single-step context baseline and fully completes a five-minute, ten-stage assembly task, which no baseline ever does. RoboTTT trained with 8K-timestep context outperforms the same model pretrained with 1K timesteps by 62%, suggesting context length as a new scaling axis for robot foundation models.

Generating realistic 3D human motions in real-time within interactive applications is key for animation, simulation, and humanoid robotics. While recent offline motion generation approaches offer precise control via text and kinematic constraints, they lack the inference speed required for interactive settings. Conversely, existing online methods enable real-time synthesis but often sacrifice controllability or struggle with complex text semantics and long-horizon goals due to limited context windows. In this work, we introduce ARDY, a streaming generation framework that bridges this gap by enabling high-fidelity motion generation controllable via online text prompts and flexible kinematic constraints. ARDY employs a hybrid representation that combines explicit root features with a latent body embedding, balancing precise trajectory control with efficient generative learning. We propose a two-stage autoregressive transformer denoiser that features variable history context and supports conditioning on flexible, long-horizon kinematic constraints. By training on a large-scale motion capture dataset and being directly conditioned on text labels and kinematic constraints sampled from ground truth poses, ARDY natively learns controllable generation that supports online prompting and flexible long-horizon goals. Extensive evaluations on the HumanML3D benchmark and the large-scale, high-fidelity Bones Rigplay dataset demonstrate ARDY's high motion quality and constraint adherence, validating the efficacy of our key architectural decisions. Finally, we demonstrate the method's practical versatility through an interactive demo featuring dynamic text control, diverse keyframe pose constraints, path following, and interactive locomotion control via mouse and keyboard.

View sourceModern LLMs are increasingly deployed in long-context applications such as retrieval-augmented generation, repository-level coding, and agentic workflows whose accumulated reasoning and tool traces routinely push the input an order of magnitude past the pretraining window, making zero-shot context extension the dominant deployment path for open-weight checkpoints. Most existing zero-shot methods fix a single rescaling factor up front, so an aggressive factor sacrifices short-context fidelity while a conservative one breaks down at long contexts. We propose Jet-Long, a tuning-free zero-shot method that pairs a local RoPE-faithful window with a long-range window whose rescaling factor adapts dynamically to the current sequence length, recovering the base model exactly at short inputs while extrapolating cleanly at long ones. An inclusion-exclusion attention merge and an on-the-fly RoPE correction rotation make the bifocal construction essentially free at inference; fused into a single CuTe kernel, long-context prefill reaches up to 1.39times FA2 throughput on H100 (approaching the Hopper-only FA4), and single-batch generation incurs le 4% overhead at every length. On Qwen3-1.7B/4B/8B up to 128K context, Jet-Long leads RULER by +4.79/+2.18/+2.03~pp over the strongest baseline at 1.7B/4B/8B, achieves the best overall accuracy on HELMET-RAG (a benchmark identified by HELMET as the most efficient predictor of downstream long-context performance) and attains the lowest PG-19 perplexity. Jet-Long also generalizes to hybrid attention architectures such as Jet-Nemotron for further long-context improvement without retraining, and remains hyperparameter-resilient for ease of deployment.
View sourceThe growing demand for image-to-video creation on mobile devices has increasingly focused on cinematic motion effects like bullet time, dolly zoom, slow motion, etc. While Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) exhibit strong performance in video generation, their large parameter sizes and multi-step iterative denoising processes lead to substantial computational overhead, making efficient generation on mobile devices challenging. We propose CineMobile to bridge the gap. In particular, CineMobile adopts a three-fold optimization strategy: (1) leveraging a distillation-guided pruning approach to derive a compact yet efficient model that retains the essential video generation capabilities required for cinematic effects; (2) optimizing the compressed model into a 4-step generator via a combination of diffusion distillation and reinforcement learning; (3) employing a hybrid post-training quantization strategy to compress the model footprint to under 1 GB. Experimental results show that compared to the teacher model with the Wan 2.1 architecture, CineMobile achieves a 40x speedup in generation while maintaining comparable visual quality. Specifically, CineMobile generates 49-frame 480p videos with a per-step denoising latency of 0.6s on an NVIDIA H200 GPU and 20s on the MediaTek Dimensity 8400 Ultimate 5G platform, with a peak memory usage of 1.8 GB, demonstrating its practical applicability for mobile-based image-to-video creation.

We propose Nemotron-Labs-Diffusion-Image, a state-of-the-art masked discrete diffusion model (MDM) for high-resolution text-to-image synthesis. Compared with prior work on masked image generation, Nemotron-Labs-Diffusion-Image addresses two key challenges. First, unlike continuous diffusion models which progressively refine latent representations across the entire image, standard MDMs lack self-correcting capability because discrete tokens cannot be modified once they are unmasked. Second, although increasing the vocabulary size of discrete image tokenizers improves reconstruction fidelity, it introduces optimization difficulties for generative modeling as the per-token training signal becomes increasingly sparse. To address the first challenge, Nemotron-Labs-Diffusion-Image incorporates a token-editing mechanism that enables the model to dynamically revise already-unmasked tokens during inference, similar to how a sculptor iteratively refines their work. To tackle the second challenge, we propose a Grouped Cross-Entropy (GCE) objective that assigns positive learning signals to tokens neighboring the ground truth in embedding space, thereby alleviating signal sparsity. To further improve training efficiency, we implement a custom fused operator for GCE that significantly reduces VRAM usage in large-vocabulary settings. Experimental results demonstrate that these innovations substantially improve both training efficiency and image fidelity of masked discrete image generators, achieving a score of 0.90 on GenEval, 86.9 on DPG and 10.76 of HPSv3.
Training and evaluating robot policies in the real world is costly and difficult to scale. We introduce SimFoundry, a modular and automated system for zero-shot real-to-sim scene construction from a video. SimFoundry generates sim-ready digital twins and supports object, scene, and task editing, enabling the automated generation of diverse digital cousins: affordance-preserving variations of reconstructed real-world scenes. Policies trained on SimFoundry data transfer zero-shot to challenging real tasks involving multi-step manipulation, articulated object interaction, and bimanual interaction, and its digital cousins (variations of the original scene, objects, and tasks) facilitate generalization to new real-world conditions. Across 7 manipulation tasks and 5 policy architectures, SimFoundry simulation evaluations strongly predict real-world performance, with mean Pearson correlation 0.911 and mean maximum ranking violation 0.018. When evaluating sim-trained policies zero-shot in the real world, policies trained with object, scene, and task cousins in simulation show average task success rate improvements of 17%, 21%, and 40%, respectively.

It is tempting to assume any task solvable by a short program can be taught to a model as its chain-of-thought: write the steps out, fine-tune, and the model follows. This paper shows the assumption fails for an identifiable class of procedures. The testbed is nine reasoning tasks, each from a deterministic generator; public and hidden splits share generators, so held-out data proxies test accuracy. I reverse-engineer the generators into Python solvers, render them as chain-of-thought, and distill into a rank-<= 32 LoRA over a 30B (3.5B-active) Nemotron model. Forward-computable tasks install readily: lookup/arithmetic and an 8-bit boolean task transfer (>= 0.99 and 0.68). Cryptarithm does not: distilling its backtracking search holds at 0.01-0.07 across eleven chain-of-thought designs, RL from verifiable rewards, and self-training, even though a search solver answers 71% of instances. This is not a capability gap. The model does the arithmetic on 97-100% of lines and ranks the correct cipher in its top eight on 71%; it cannot carry the search forward as a left-to-right derivation. Fine-tuning learns the shape of a verifiable elimination step while its verdicts become unconditional templates, correct only 16-57% of the time ("verdict-as-token"). The ceiling holds across backbones from 3B to 671B and across fine-tuning and prompting; a controlled intervention isolates the cause: revealing the cipher key, which turns the derivation forward, lifts the same instances from 0.03 to 0.57. When a procedure's only solution is search over information-free structure, no faithful forward chain-of-thought exists to imitate. The task becomes learnable only by removing the search, precomputing its combinatorial core into a catalog and reducing the trace to recall plus verification; the 1st-place solution reaches Private LB 0.92 this way. What distills is memorization and verification, not search.
Streaming video generation is emerging as a new serving workload in which users interact with long-lived sessions that generate video progressively, chunk by chunk. Unlike offline video generation or typical LLM serving, streaming video generation must preserve session state across active and idle periods, repeatedly schedule ongoing sessions, and deliver each chunk under a tight latency target. This creates two key serving challenges in multi-user, multi-GPU environments: session duration heterogeneity, where long-running sessions make placement decisions suboptimal over time, and temporal user-demand heterogeneity, where the number of active sessions fluctuates sharply across bursts and idle periods. We present TurboServe, the first serving system designed specifically for streaming video generation workloads. TurboServe formulates serving as an online scheduling problem that jointly coordinates session placement and GPU provisioning. Its closed-loop scheduling algorithm combines a migration-aware placement controller, which rebalances sessions across GPUs to reduce the maximum per-chunk latency, with a load-driven autoscaling controller, which adapts the GPU budget to workload variation for improved cost efficiency. To support these decisions at runtime, TurboServe implements coalesced chunk processing for batching concurrent active sessions on the same GPU, GPU-CPU offloading for session suspension and resumption, and NCCL-based GPU-GPU migration for online rebalancing. We evaluate TurboServe on real-world production traces from Shengshu Technology across multiple model sizes and GPU clusters with up to 64 NVIDIA B300 GPUs. Compared with baseline serving configurations, TurboServe reduces worst-case per-chunk latency by 37.5% and total GPU operating cost by 37.2% on average. Our code is publicly available at https://github.com/shengshu-ai/TurboServe.
We propose world-language-action (WLA) models as a new class of embodied foundation models. WLA takes textual instructions, images, and robot states as inputs to jointly predict textual subtasks, subgoal images, and robot actions, conjoining the world modeling interface to learn from extensive egocentric videos as in the world-action model (WAM) and the language reasoning capacities to solve complex long-horizon tasks as in vision-language-action (VLA) models. At the core of WLA lies an autoregressive (AR) Transformer backbone, instead of a bidirectional diffusion Transformer as in WAMs, to predict the next state, comprising the semantic-level textual intention and complementary fine-grained physical dynamics. The physical dynamics are supervised by the world modeling objective based on a dedicated World Expert, and are leveraged to ease the characterization of the state-action correlation for the Action Expert. WLA leverages meta-queries to make the world prediction implicitly impact the action generation so that the former can be disabled during inference. The world prediction can also be activated to enable test-time scaling for improved robot control. Our WLA-0 prototype, with 2B active parameters, achieves 40 ms per inference on an NVIDIA RTX 5090. Evaluations across simulated and real-world environments demonstrate that WLA-0 achieves state-of-the-art multi-task and long-horizon learning abilities, e.g., 92.94\% success rate on RoboTwin2.0 Clean and 56.5\% success rate on RMBench. WLA-0 also holds the promise to learn novel tasks directly from cross-embodiment robot videos without action annotations.
World-action models (WAMs) jointly generate future video and robot actions through iterative diffusion, achieving strong performance on manipulation benchmarks but requiring tens of denoising steps, a cost that precludes real-time control. Step distillation has emerged as the natural remedy, but off-the-shelf methods break down in the joint video-action setting because video and action streams use different SNR-shifted noise schedules and reach training with substantially different marginal noise distributions, an asymmetry that single-modality distillation methods cannot accommodate. We introduce Flash-WAM, a modality-aware step-distillation framework inspired by consistency distillation that selects the consistency function for each modality to match its noise regime: a linear-gradient-scaling parametrization for the action stream's low-noise regime, paired with a variance-preserving parametrization for the video stream's high-noise regime, grounded in a structural analysis of the consistency-function family that characterizes the achievable gradient scaling under the consistency boundary condition. Instantiated on LingBot-VA, Flash-WAM compresses inference to a single step in each modality. On RoboTwin 2.0, this reduces per-chunk latency from 8.1 seconds to 348 ms on NVIDIA L40S, a 23{times} speedup that enables real-time inference. Flash-WAM preserves task success on simulation benchmarks (85.5% RoboTwin 2.0, 95.7% LIBERO) and substantially recovers real-world performance (60% average on a Unitree G1 humanoid robot), while naive consistency distillation drops to 24% at the same step budget.
