💡 What: Replaced per-timestep slicing [:, t, :] and dtype casting in the VLA token loop with an initial torch.unbind(dim=1) across sequence tensors.
🎯 Why: To reduce Python loop and PyTorch dispatch overhead during sequential decoding. View slicing along intermediate dimensions is costly to evaluate repeatedly inside a tight uncompiled loop.
📊 Measured Improvement: Baseline (T=1000): 0.88s/forward -> Optimized: 0.83s/forward (~5% improvement). On a stress-test baseline (T=2000): 1.63s/forward. The speedup primarily targets the CPU overhead from kernel dispatch/view creation on small recurrent steps.

Extracts dtype casting and intermediate tensor slicing (`[:, t, :]`) out of the token loop. By using `torch.unbind(dim=1)` prior to the loop, it removes the per-step PyTorch view operations and dispatch overhead, replacing them with simple list indexing.
