FabriVLA: A Lightweight Vision-Language-Action Model for Precise Multi-Task Manipulation

Shiyuan Yang, Borong Zhang, Jizheng Zhang, Zhijia Tao, Junfei Guo, Donglai Ran, Xu Bian, Qingbiao Li

We present FabriVLA, a lightweight Vision-Language-Action model for Precise Multi-Task Manipulation. FabriVLA combines an InternVL3.5 vision-language backbone with a flow-matching action head featuring gated self-attention across action tokens and shallow VLM layer fusion for enriched spatial context. The model is trained via single stage joint optimization from a pretrained VLM and randomly initialized action head. On the Meta-World MT50 benchmark spanning 50 diverse manipulation tasks, FabriVLA achieves a tier-average success rate of 90.0%, demonstrating that a compact VLA built on a 1B scale VLM can achieve strong performance without relying on multi billion parameter VLA backbones.

Large language models bring instruction following and scene reasoning to end-to-end driving, but their inference latency collides with the control rate a vehicle requires. Existing closed-loop agents hide this gap by invoking the model on alternate simulation ticks and replaying…
