High-Performance Serving Runtime for Robotics Models
Problem
Robotics models often have inference latency that cannot meet real-time control loop requirements, making delay a key deployment bottleneck; existing frameworks lack specialized multi-step distillation and runtime optimizations for diffusion models, limiting performance gains in practice.
Pain points
- Inference latency is too high to meet real-time control loop requirements
- Lack of efficient inference frameworks tailored for robotics models
- Low efficiency in multi-step diffusion model inference
Questions to verify
- Have you encountered inference latency issues in real robot control loops?
- What proportion of speed improvement do you attribute to runtime optimizations versus few-step distillation?

the models were getting much better, but inference was often way too slow for the control loop we actually wanted.

Really impressive speedups. Curious how much of the gain comes from the runtime optimizations vs the few-step distillation in real-world robotics workloads.
