BOLT: Decision‑Aligned Distillation and Budget-Aware Routing for Constrained Multimodal QA on Robots

Robotic systems can require multimodal reasoning under stringent constraints of latency, memory, and energy. Standard instruction tuning and token-level distillation fail to deliver decision quality, reliability, and interpretability under these constraints. We introduce BOLT, a decision-aligned dis…
