Jetson-PI: Towards Onboard Real-Time Robot Control via Foresight-Aligned Asynchronous Inference
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have achieved impressive performance on diverse embodied tasks. However, deploying VLA models on low-power onboard devices, such as the Jetson Orin, remains challenging due to their high computational complexity, which leads to substantial inference latency and low control frequency. Asynchronous inference can partially mask this latency by parallelizing action execution and subsequent inference, but it introduces two critical issues: perception-execution misalignment and long reaction time. In this paper, we propose Jetson-PI, a method for efficient VLA deployment on onboard devices via Foresight-Aligned Asynchronous Correction. To address misalignment, we train a lightweight future correction module that predicts future environment representation conditioned on committed actions, enabling the action expert to directly predict actions from the future time step. To reduce reaction time, we introduce confidence-based scheduling optimization that adaptively balances VLM and action expert invocations, complemented by system-level accelerations including CUDA graph reuse, GPU-resident intermediate buffering, and flow unrolling. Extensive experiments demonstrate that Jetson-PI achieves 8.66x and 5.41x improvements in control frequency compared with naive PyTorch and vla.cpp on NVIDIA Jetson Orin, while outperforming VLASH by 14.8\% in average success rate on the LIBERO benchmark. The code of our asynchronous algorithm is available on https://github.com/PKU-SEC-Lab/Jetson-PI, and our efficient llama.cpp-based inference engine is available on https://github.com/PKU-SEC-Lab/Jetson-PI-Edge.
ReThinker: Scientific Reasoning by Rethinking with Guided Reflection and Confidence Control
Expert-level scientific reasoning remains challenging for large language models, particularly on benchmarks such as Humanity's Last Exam (HLE), where rigid tool pipelines, brittle multi-agent coordination, and inefficient test-time scaling often limit performance. We introduce ReThinker, a confidence-aware agentic framework that orchestrates retrieval, tool use, and multi-agent reasoning through a stage-wise Solver-Critic-Selector architecture. Rather than following a fixed pipeline, ReThinker dynamically allocates computation based on model confidence, enabling adaptive tool invocation, guided multi-dimensional reflection, and robust confidence-weighted selection. To support scalable training without human annotation, we further propose a reverse data synthesis pipeline and an adaptive trajectory recycling strategy that transform successful reasoning traces into high-quality supervision. Experiments on HLE, GAIA, and XBench demonstrate that ReThinker consistently outperforms state-of-the-art foundation models with tools and existing deep research systems, achieving state-of-the-art results on expert-level reasoning tasks.
