Scaling Verification Can Be More Effective than Scaling Policy Learning for Vision-Language-Action Alignment

This establishes a test-time scaling law for embodied AI, mirroring the inference-time compute scaling trend in LLMs but for physical robot actions. The finding that verification scales better than generation has broad implications for deploying VLA...
