StarVLA-$\alpha$: Reducing Complexity in Vision-Language-Action Systems
StarVLA-α introduces a simplified baseline architecture for Vision-Language-Action robotic systems that achieves competitive performance across multiple benchmarks without complex engineering. The model demonstrates that a strong vision-language backbone combined with minimal design choices can match or exceed existing specialized approaches, suggesting the VLA field has been over-engineered.
