Patch Policy beats OpenVLA-OFT with 0.7% of the parameters on one RTX 5090

Patch Policy argues that a robot policy does not need 7B parameters if it can use dense visual features.
- It combines a pretrained ViT with a small transformer and reportedly beats OpenVLA-OFT while using only 0.7% of the parameters.
- The policy was trained on a single RTX 5090.
- In the demo, the system inserts a cable with about 2 mm tolerance and succeeds again even when the rollout is interrupted mid-execution.
