摘要
Fleets of driving vision-language-action (VLA) models are developed one domain at a time: each operator finetunes a shared base model on private data, producing specialized experts that are costly to consolidate into a single model. Weight merging loses accuracy as heterogeneous domains accumulate, and dense mixture-of-experts routing is prohibitively expensive to combine them. We present DeltaForge, to our knowledge the first post-hoc mixture-of-experts VLA for driving, which consolidates N independently finetuned per-domain models into a single multi-domain model from their weights and a small proxy set alone. When different operators finetune the same base model, their weight updates end up sharing a lot of structure. We exploit this by decomposing all the updates together using singular value decomposition (SVD), splitting each one into a shared part (the same across all domains) and a tiny domain-specific part. The router then only needs to work with those tiny domain-specific pieces, not the full expert weights, which is what keeps the approach efficient. Then two cooperating clip-level blind routers, one over the VLM reasoning experts and one over the flow-matching dynamics experts, are trained from soft labels on the proxy dataset. Across six diverse domains spanning urban, off-road, and highway driving on cars, trucks, and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), DeltaForge approaches the accuracy of the per-domain experts and surpasses every merging, routing, centralized, and federated baseline at close to single-model parameter and compute cost. Adding a new domain requires only projecting its weight update onto the shared basis with no end-to-end retraining needed. The resulting model also generalizes to domain combinations it was never explicitly trained on.
