DIRECT: When and Where Should You Allocate Test-Time Compute in Embodied Planners?
Researchers introduce DIRECT, a routing framework that intelligently allocates computational resources at test-time for Vision-Language Models used in embodied AI planning. The system selectively chooses when to deploy expensive scaling strategies (deeper reasoning chains, larger models, expanded memory), achieving up to 65% lower latency than baseline approaches while maintaining or exceeding performance on robotic manipulation tasks.
