LAGEN: A Single Frame of Latency Can Cut Real-Time Agent Performance by 95%

LAGEN, from Northwestern, Stanford and NVIDIA, shows that even one frame of latency—imperceptible to humans—can slash real-time VLA agent performance by up to 95%, with 36 VLA policies retaining only 6.6% of reward under real latency.
