I disagree with the approach. It's a good approach for limited domain problems, but not for general purpose. Take something like this where you will need to be able to refer to wikis and research and ask questions on Reddit and Discord to optimize playthrough, none of the goal conditioning will be useful.

I think a properly fine-tuned VLA with access to tool calls can scale way better.

The goal conditioning is just a training objective! You could combine it with tool use, web searches, etc. and still train end-to-end on goal conditioning. (One way of thinking about it is goal conditioning defines a good distribution of tasks, and lends itself well to pretraining with an unlabelled video dataset.)
