Flash-WAM — RoboTwin (distilled)
Single-step distilled checkpoint for Flash-WAM: Modality-Aware Distillation for World Action Models, applied to LingBot-VA and evaluated on RoboTwin 2.0. Flash-WAM distills each modality with a consistency function matched to its noise regime (linear-gradient-scaling for the action stream, variance-preserving for the video stream), compressing inference to a single step per modality for up to a 23× speedup while preserving teacher-level task success.
This repository contains the complete model (distilled transformer + encoders):
