arXiv:2605.24011v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models exhibit remarkable action generation for embodied intelligence, but their heavy compute make deployment on edge platforms impractical. Aggressive, sub-4-bit weight quantization is the natural solution, yet existing post-training quantization (PTQ) methods suffer severe performance degradation in this regime. To address this, we introduce ActQuant, an action-guided mixed-precision PTQ framework that operates in two stages: (1) an inter-tensor bit allocator that assigns each weight matrix a single bit-width based on how much it contributes to predicting the agent's actions; (2) an intra-tensor scale optimizer tunes per-block quantization scales using action-aware curvature, so that dynamic range is concentrated on the weights most influential for control. To deliver the on-device benefits of our aggressive quantization, we further introduce OmniModel.cpp, an agentic conversion pipeline that ports architectures into a native C/C++ runtime with efficient low-bit kernels. We evaluate ActQuant both in simulation and on a real-world 6-DoF UR3 arm, with all models deployed through OmniModel.cpp. On the LIBERO benchmark, ActQuant is the only method that operates at or below 3 bits-per-weight, retaining 95.0% on OpenVLA-OFT and 94.8% on $\pi_{0.5}$. Pushed further, ActQuant reaches 2.5 bpw at 90.1% on OpenVLA-OFT, compressing the backbone from 14.3 GB to 2.7 GB (5.3$\times$). On the physical UR3 arm, $\pi_{0.5}$ quantized with ActQuant retains the baseline's success rate while reducing the memory footprint by 2.5$\times$.

arXiv:2603.03112v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Partial differential equations (PDEs) are fundamental for modeling complex physical systems, yet classical numerical solvers face prohibitive computational costs in high-dimensional and multi-scale regimes. While Transformer-based neural operators have emerged as powerful data-driven alternatives, they conventionally treat all discretized spatial points as uniform, independent tokens. This monolithic approach ignores the intrinsic scale separation of physical fields, applying computationally prohibitive global attention that redundantly mixes smooth large-scale dynamics with high-frequency fluctuations. Rethinking Transformers through the lens of complex dynamics, we propose DynFormer, a novel dynamics-informed neural operator. Rather than applying a uniform attention mechanism across all scales, DynFormer explicitly assigns specialized network modules to distinct physical scales. It leverages a Spectral Embedding to isolate low-frequency modes, enabling a Kronecker-structured attention mechanism to efficiently capture large-scale global interactions with reduced complexity. Concurrently, we introduce a Local-Global-Mixing transformation. This module utilizes nonlinear multiplicative frequency mixing to implicitly reconstruct the small-scale, fast-varying turbulent cascades that are slaved to the macroscopic state, without incurring the cost of global attention. Integrating these modules into a hybrid evolutionary architecture ensures robust long-term temporal stability. Extensive memory-aligned evaluations across four PDE benchmarks demonstrate that DynFormer achieves up to a 95% reduction in relative error compared to state-of-the-art baselines, while significantly reducing GPU memory consumption. Our results establish that embedding first-principles physical dynamics into Transformer architectures yields a highly scalable, theoretically grounded blueprint for PDE surrogate modeling.
