arXiv:2501.16698v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Spatial intelligence, encompassing 3D perception and reasoning, is the essential next frontier of AI. Scaling current 3D vision-language models (VLMs) that rely on dense Transformers for spatial tasks incurs prohibitive computational costs. In this paper, we introduce 3D-MoE, a 3D VLM leveraging an efficient mixture-of-experts architecture with a modality- and spatial-context-aware probabilistic routing scheme, stably cultivated by a novel routing curriculum. To seamlessly extend 3D-MoE to embodied AI, we integrate a diffusion-based action head, Pose-DiT, transforming 3D-MoE into a 3D vision-language-action (VLA) model. By employing a rectified flow framework, Pose-DiT generates precise 6D pose actions in a single sampling step. Extensive experiments demonstrate that 3D-MoE achieves superior performance on diverse 3D vision-language benchmarks with drastically fewer activated parameters and yields higher success rates while enabling real-time inference for robot manipulation tasks.
