LightNav-0 Elicits VLM Spatial Intelligence for Embodied Navigation
August 30, 2026
LightNav-0 is a compact generalist model that aligns pretrained VLM spatial priors with robotic navigation without using task-specific prediction heads. It uses a unified token interface to enable embodied agents to translate visual observations and heterogeneous goals into direct actions.
