+# DeepThinkVLA: Enhancing Reasoning Capability of Vision-Language-Action Models
+
+DeepThinkVLA is a Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model designed to enhance the reasoning capabilities of robotic agents through explicit deliberation. It refactors the policy into a 2.9B parameter hybrid decoder that generates a reasoning trace (Chain-of-Thought) before emitting action chunks.

+## Model Description
+DeepThinkVLA addresses the challenges of integrating Chain-of-Thought (CoT) into VLA models by satisfying two key conditions:
+1. **Decoding Alignment:** It uses a hybrid-attention decoder that pairs causal attention for linguistic reasoning tokens with bidirectional attention for parallel action decoding.
+2. **Causal Alignment:** The model is trained via a two-stage SFT-then-RL pipeline (using GRPO) to ensure the reasoning chain is causally linked to task success.
+
+The model is initialized from the `pi0-FAST` checkpoint and demonstrates significant performance gains on robotic manipulation benchmarks.
+
+## Performance
+- **LIBERO:** 97.0% average success rate.
+- **LIBERO-Plus:** 79.0% zero-shot robustness under distribution shifts.
+- **RoboTwin 2.0:** 59.3% success rate, exceeding prior VLA baselines by significant margins.
