Vision-language-action models have become the most prominent AI architecture in robotics and autonomous vehicle development. At embedded AI conferences this year, particularly the Embedded Vision Summit, VLAs dominated discussions not as experimental concepts but as the framework engineering teams are actively implementing. Designers creating silicon for robots or autonomous vehicles will inevitably encounter VLAs and must respond to their rapid evolution.
Understanding VLAs
A vision-language-action model is an end-to-end neural network that processes sensor inputs—camera images, joint positions, and natural-language commands—and generates a sequence of physical actions. VLAs replace the traditional perception-planning-control pipeline with a single unified model that learns to handle all these tasks.
Pi-0.5 Model Structure
Pi-0.5, a 3.3-billion-parameter open-source VLA from Physical Intelligence, serves as a concrete example. Its weights and architecture are publicly available, with published performance benchmarks. The model comprises three stages: a SigLIP encoder with roughly 400 million parameters, a Gemma 2B language model with approximately 2.6 billion parameters, and an action expert with about 300 million parameters.
The SigLIP encoder, a vision transformer, processes 16x16-pixel patches from each camera image, generating 256 patch tokens per camera. This stage is compute-intensive. The Gemma 2B language model, a decoder-only LLM, takes vision tokens, a text instruction, and the robot's current joint positions to create a situational representation. This corresponds to the prefill phase of a standard LLM inference, demanding both compute and memory bandwidth. The action expert, a transformer decoder, begins with a noise vector representing random candidate actions and uses cross-attention with the Gemma output to iteratively refine these actions roughly 10 times per inference—a process called flow matching. After 10 iterations, it produces about 50 action tokens describing the robot's next actions.
AdaRMSNorm Challenge
The action expert in Pi-0.5 includes AdaRMSNorm (adaptive RMS normalization), an operator rarely found in previous transformer architectures. AdaRMSNorm adjusts normalization parameters based on context, specifically the current refinement step in the flow-matching loop. Because this operator is uncommon in prior vision and language transformers, it is unlikely to be supported in fixed-function NPU accelerators used in most heterogeneous NPU architectures. Since AdaRMSNorm does not map to fixed-function logic in these NPUs, it must fall back to the legacy CPU or DSP paired with the accelerator, creating a critical performance bottleneck.
Performance Metrics
Running Pi-0 on an Nvidia RTX 4090 takes 73 milliseconds while drawing 450 watts, establishing a server-class baseline. Nvidia's Jetson Thor, a GPU-based edge-adjacent solution, consumes roughly 120-130 watts with about 517 INT8 TOPS. However, 130 watts exceeds the typical power budget for embedded devices, which usually expect 10W or 20W maximum for the main SoC. Delivery robots, drones, and production vehicle sensor modules generally lack 120-watt thermal headroom for a single inference processor.
A published roofline analysis for Pi-0 on Jetson Thor estimates theoretical best-case latency at about 53 milliseconds. In practice, real systems achieve 75-85% of roofline efficiency after extensive optimization, placing likely Jetson Thor performance in the 62-70 ms range.
The standard embedded AI inference approach pairs a fixed-function NPU with a CPU or DSP. The NPU handles matrix multiplications and selected hardwired operators; anything else falls back to the general-purpose processor. Research on LLM inference with heterogeneous NPU architectures measured NPU utilization on a 1.8B-parameter LLM, finding the NPU idle 37% of the time due to CPU fallback overhead. For Pi-0.5, heterogeneous NPU operator partitioning creates 712 round-trips between NPU and CPU per inference, plus 762 MB of extra memory transfers, with overhead accumulating across all 10 flow-matching iterations.
Quadrics Chimera GPNPU
Quadrics Chimera GPNPU offers a fully programmable AI acceleration solution. The Chimera core consists of a single processor pipeline with an array of processing elements (PEs). Each PE includes multiply-accumulate units, a complete 32-bit scalar ALU, local memory, and a mesh interconnect to neighboring PEs. The entire array operates under software control with no hardware-managed cache and no separate fallback processor. Every operator in Pi-0.5, including AdaRMSNorm, runs natively on Chimera cores.
For the vision encoder, a Chimera QC Perform processor with 256 PEs allows direct mapping of one PE per patch token. The larger Chimera Ultra processor simultaneously processes four 16x16 patches across its 32x32 PE array. For the language model, weights are tiled across the PE array with software-managed memory control, using DMA to prefetch the next tile while the current tile computes. AdaRMSNorm runs on the same PE array in the same data layout without dispatching to a separate processor or moving data.
Comparative Performance
The analysis compares three platforms: RTX 4090 (73 ms, 450W), Jetson Thor (53 ms roofline, 120-130W), and Chimera GPNPU (45 ms, roughly 11W for the GPNPU cores). The Chimera figure comes from real code on a cycle-approximate simulator and represents the current implementation, not a ceiling. Notably, Chimera GPNPU runs Pi-0.5 (3.3B parameters) while the other two run Pi-0 (3B parameters); the larger model on Chimera is already faster than the theoretical maximum for the smaller model on Jetson Thor.
DDR bandwidth is matched between Jetson Thor and Chimera at 273 GB/s. The power difference is roughly 10:1—about 11 watts for the GPNPU cores versus 120-130 watts for Jetson Thor. Other SoC elements, including DDR memory interfaces, would add another 10+ watts to total power dissipation, but a 20W or 25W chip outperforming the 130W Nvidia device is considered a clear winner.
Deployment and Future Considerations
The VLA deployment challenge is not purely about TOPS. A system may have sufficient raw compute throughput but still fail on VLAs because it cannot execute the full operator graph without partitioning across heterogeneous processors. Each partition boundary adds round-trip latency and memory transfer overhead that compounds through the inference pipeline.
VLA architectures will continue evolving. Physical Intelligence will update Pi-0.5, and other groups are developing competing VLAs with different action expert designs and conditioning mechanisms. Operators distinguishing future models from today's state-of-the-art networks likely will not appear in any fixed-function NPU designed today, forcing chip design teams that choose fixed-function NPUs to respin silicon for each model breakthrough. A processor that runs the full graph natively with software-programmable execution and no fallback path handles this evolution by recompiling, not by re-spinning silicon—that processor is Quadrics Chimera GPNPU.
