GAF improves a frozen vision-language-action policy on physical robot manipulation tasks by learning an observation-conditioned critic from robot outcomes and using its gradient to adjust action chunks during iterative generation, without changing the policy’s weights. Across six nominal tabletop tasks, success rises from 60.0% to 82.5%. Tests under six lighting and distractor conditions cover only three tasks.
