Infini-VLA: The VLA 2.0 Upgrade That Understands Time
The core change in VLA 2.0's first major upgrade: 30s memory, 6s prediction, and 300% faster streaming response.
Every XPeng tech briefing is a mental workout. This time, 2nd-gen VLA got its first major model upgrade — the core change is that it now truly understands "time."
Specifically:
- Infini-VLA long-sequence architecture remembers what happened in the past 30 seconds.
- X-Foresight prediction world-model projects the next 6 seconds.
- Streaming autoregressive inference boosts end-to-end response 300%.
Simply put: it not only sees the present, but remembers the past and predicts what happens next — giving assisted driving a much fuller context.
The Master Agent also arrives, further unifying VLA and VLM so smart driving, cockpit, chassis, and body control are coordinated by one "unified brain."
The new version pushes in September — we'll see how it performs.
