General Instinct founders claim 50x speedup for world action models enabling real-time edge deployment▾

By distilling VAE and DiT components, splitting video/action transformers, reducing flow matching to 1-2 steps, and using mask/flow modalities, General Instinct achieves 500ms per 16-action chunk on Jetson Orin, making world action models viable for production robotics.
