AudioX-Turbo: A Unified Framework for Efficient Anything-to-Audio Generation

Audio and music generation based on flexible multimodal control signals is a widely applicable topic, with the following key challenges: 1) a unified multimodal modeling framework, 2) large-scale, high-quality training data, and 3) the prohibitive inference cost of multi-step diffusion sampling. As such, we propose AudioX-Turbo, a unified and efficient framework for anything-to-audio generation that integrates varied multimodal conditions (i.e., text, video, and audio signals) in this work. AudioX-Turbo follows a teacher-student paradigm. The teacher AudioX-Base is built on a Multimodal Diffusion Transformer with a Multimodal Adaptive Fusion module that aligns diverse multimodal inputs for high-fidelity synthesis, and is then distilled into the few-step student AudioX-Turbo via Distribution Matching Distillation adapted to flow matching, complemented by a diffusion-based discriminator for high-quality few-step generation. To support the training of AudioX-Turbo, we construct a large-scale, high-quality dataset, IF-caps-Pro, comprising approximately 9.2M samples curated through a two-stage data collection and annotation pipeline. We benchmark AudioX-Turbo across a wide range of tasks, finding that our model achieves superior performance, especially on text-to-audio and text-to-music generation, while operating at only 4 sampling steps and requiring approximately 25x fewer function evaluations (NFE) than multi-step baselines. These results demonstrate that our method is capable of audio generation under flexible multimodal control, showing efficient and powerful instruction-following capabilities. The code and datasets will be available at https://zeyuet.github.io/AudioX-Turbo/.

FlashMemory-DeepSeek-V4: Lightning Index Ultra-Long Context via Lookahead Sparse Attention

Conventional LLMs keep the full KV cache loaded during decoding, causing a severe GPU memory bottleneck for ultra-long context serving. In this report, we propose Lookahead Sparse Attention (LSA), a novel inference paradigm powered by a Neural Memory Indexer built upon the DeepSeek-V4 architecture. Rather than passively attending to all historical tokens, LSA proactively predicts future context demands and preserves only the query-critical KV chunks in the GPU memory. Crucially, we instantiate this architecture via a backbone-free decoupled training strategy. By formulating the indexer as a standard dual-encoder architecture, we train it independently using standard retrieval training frameworks without ever loading the massive backbone model into GPU memory. We demonstrate that this "less is more" paradigm significantly maximizes serving efficiency while acting as an effective attention denoiser in tasks that rely on long-term global memory. Across primary long-context evaluation suites (e.g., LongBench-v2, LongMemEval, and RULER), FM-DS-V4 compresses the average physical KV cache footprint down to merely 13.5% of the full-context baseline, while consistently preserving or slightly elevating downstream accuracy (+0.6% absolute margin on average). Crucially, at extreme 500K scales, FlashMemory suppresses the physical KV cache overhead by over 90% without destabilizing the backbone's core reasoning capacities.

AnchorWorld: Embodied Egocentric World Simulation with View-based Evolution Customization

Despite being a pivotal frontier, interactive world modeling remains underexplored in terms of the versatile controllability required by practical scenarios. To bridge this gap, we present AnchorWorld, a framework that advances egocentric simulation through enhanced interaction integrity and a flexible mechanism for world customization. First, we utilize 3D human motion as the primary interaction modality. To complement the out-of-view or truncated body parts in egocentric views, we introduce an auxiliary training supervision that incorporates exogenous viewpoints decoupled from the agent's first-person sensorium. It allows the model to observe the agent's full-body positioning relative to the environment, facilitating a more robust spatial grounding of human-world interactions. Furthermore, we propose a simple yet effective mechanism for customizing self-evolving worlds. This is achieved by defining anchor views within a unified world coordinate system, coupled with textual descriptions dictating the dynamic evolution of local scenes. Experimental results show that AnchorWorld significantly outperforms state-of-the-art baselines, while ablation studies validate the effectiveness of our key designs. Notably, our customization scheme exhibits promising spatio-temporal geometric consistency and adheres strictly to the prescribed evolutionary dynamics.

WebRISE: Requirement-Induced State Evaluation for MLLM-Generated Web Artifacts

Existing benchmarks for MLLM-generated web artifacts assess interaction through local evidence and miss the requirement-induced states and transitions that determine whether a page works. We introduce WebRISE, which compiles task requirements into Interaction Contract Graphs (ICGs) of observable states, user-intent transitions, and DOM/visual assertions for implementation-agnostic browser execution. WebRISE spans 442 tasks across five input modalities (Text, Markdown, Sketch, Image, Video), with 5,495 transitions and 5,271 requirement checks that separate user-stated functions from implicit product-level constraints. Across 14 MLLMs, even the strongest model reaches only 65.6% transition validity and 66.3% requirement coverage, and visual quality is no proxy for behavior (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B on Markdown: V=80.8 yet T=15.5). Video gives the strongest interaction signal (+10.6 pp implicit coverage over Text), while implicit constraints persist; defect injection shows ICG-based scoring detects state errors at 2-16x the rate of checkpoint-style evaluation.

PaSBench-Video: A Streaming Video Benchmark for Proactive Safety Warning

Between the first visible sign of danger and the moment an accident occurs, there is often a window where intervention remains possible. Video-capable multimodal large language models (MLLMs) could serve as always-on safety monitors that issue warnings during this window. Yet current benchmarks do not test this ability: they rely on static inputs, ignore timing precision, and omit false-positive measurement on safe scenes. We present PaSBench-Video, a 740-video benchmark with 481 risk and 259 no-risk videos across four domains: driving, healthcare, daily life, and industrial production. Risk videos are annotated with frame-level risk onset and accident boundaries. A model must observe the video causally and produce a warning that is both temporally calibrated and content-correct. Testing 13 MLLMs, we find that no model exceeds 20.0% on our strictest metric, and recall is tightly coupled with false-positive rate, with Pearson correlation 0.64: higher detection comes only at the cost of triggering warnings on the majority of safe clips. Performance splits sharply by domain: models achieve moderate recall at low false-positive rates in daily life, where risks are inherently anomalous, yet fire indiscriminately in driving, where routine and hazardous scenes look alike. These results indicate that current models rely on scene-level activity cues rather than reasoning about emerging harm.

Internalize the Temperature: On-Policy Self-Distillation as Policy Reheater for Reinforcement Learning

Reinforcement learning from verifiable rewards improves the reasoning ability of large language models, but often suffers from entropy collapse, in which increasingly concentrated policies reduce rollout diversity and useful learning signals. Existing remedies either constrain the RL objective (e.g., entropy regularization) or adjust sampling temperature during rollout collection, but these interventions remain external to the model parameters. We propose Temperature-Scaled On-Policy Self-Distillation (TS-OPSD), a lightweight policy reheating method that internalizes the exploratory effect of temperature into model parameters. Starting from an entropy-collapsed RL checkpoint, TS-OPSD constructs a self-teacher by applying high-temperature scaling to the model's own logits, then distills the resulting smoother distribution back into the student. This policy reheating requires no external teacher, privileged data, or additional inference cost. Experiments on Qwen3-4B-Base and Qwen3-8B-Base show that policy reheating yields a stronger initialization for continued RL than both standard continued RL and rollout-level temperature reheating. Further analyses show that TS-OPSD mainly reduces output sharpness while preserving intermediate representations, top candidate sets, and reasoning capability. These results suggest that entropy restoration can serve as a simple post-collapse intervention for extending reasoning-oriented RL.

Smaller Models are Natural Explorers for Policy-Level Diversity in GRPO

We identify a new dimension for enhancing rollout diversity in Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) for LLMs. While GRPO relies on diverse rollouts, prevailing strategies primarily increase diversity by injecting more token-level randomness, which may introduce step-wise noise and lead to incoherent trajectories. We uncover that smaller models within the same model family inherently exhibit higher policy-level diversity, indicated by their superior pass@k relative to larger counterparts as sample counts increase. Unlike token-level noise, this diversity is temporally correlated, preserves logical consistency, and provides structured exploration signals for gradient estimation. We thus propose S2L-PO (Small-to-Large Policy Optimization), a framework that leverages fixed small models as natural explorers to train larger models. To balance exploration and exploitation, we design a progressive annealing strategy that transitions from offline small-model rollouts to the large learner's own sampling. This shift elegantly avoids mid-training performance drops caused by the small model's capacity limits, achieving faster convergence and unlocking a higher performance ceiling. S2L-PO improves accuracy on diverse mathematical reasoning benchmarks (e.g., +8.8% on AIME 24 using a 1.7B explorer to guide the 8B model) while reducing rollout compute.

GenEraser: Generalizable Video Object Removal via Balanced Text-Mask Guidance and Decoupled Locator-Preserver

Video object removal frequently struggles to simultaneously eliminate target objects and their associated physical effects (e.g., smoke, reflections, light, and ripples) in out-of-domain scenarios due to complex spatiotemporal ambiguities. While existing methods primarily rely on spatial masks, they often fail to capture weakly correlated effects, and the potential of explicit textual guidance remains underexplored. Furthermore, a fundamental optimization conflict exists in removal models between high-level semantic generalization and precise pixel-level background preservation. To address these challenges, we propose GenEraser, a novel framework for generalized and high-fidelity video object and effect removal. First, we introduce a Multi-Conditional Mixture-of-Experts (MC-MoE) paired with Bipartite Text guidance to fully exploit the multimodal priors of Diffusion Transformers, significantly enhancing the identification of complex effects. Second, a Learnable Deep ``CFG'' Fusion mechanism (LD-CFG) is developed to adaptively balance the relative dominance of mask and textual conditions across diverse scenarios. Finally, we propose a Decoupled Expert Architecture, comprising a Locator and a Preserver, to mitigate the inherent trade-off between semantic generalization and pixel alignment. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our GenEraser surpasses recent state-of-the-art approaches, achieving significant quantitative improvements (e.g., $2.16$ dB and $1.44$ dB on the ROSE Benchmark and VOR-Eval, respectively) while maintaining exceptionally robust generalization in open-world scenarios. https://cyqii.github.io/GenEraser.github.io/

Integrated and Cross-Architecture Interpretation of LLM Reasoning

Understanding how LLMs reason is hindered by a practical asymmetry: while their generated outputs are observable, the underlying reasoning patterns remain opaque. Relying on single probes, such as Mutual Information Peak (MIP) or Deep-Thinking Ratio (DTR), risks underestimating the genuine inferential structure. To response this deficiency, we present an Integrated, cross-Architecture Reasoning (IAR) framework, designed to provide a unified approach to LLM reasoning interpretability. Specifically, we first propose to use bandwidth-calibrated MIP coupled with Tukey IQR peak-detection to isolate reasoning-crucial tokens at the output layer. Second, we performed an overlap analysis between MIP-picked tokens and DTR-deep tokens to trace the cross-layer trajectories of those tokens. This also discloses whether reasoning-crucial tokens are computation-intensive as well, further facilitating to understand how reasoning patterns evolve across model layers. Finally, we apply a Jaccard stability metric over multi-domain problems to verify if the MIP-identified tokens are reasoning quality-guaranteed. Extensive experiments on three models (Qwen-7B, Qwen-14B, and Llama-8B) across four domains (mathematics, code, logic, and common sense) demonstrate IAR's generalizable interpretation capabilities across architectures.

OmniVerifier-M1: Multimodal Meta-Verifier with Explicit Structured Recalibration

Visual outcomes are increasingly central to multimodal large language models, making reliable and fine-grained verification essential for scaling generalist foundation models. In this work, we investigate multimodal meta-verification, which leverages verifier-generated rationales rather than decision-only signals, and explore how to effectively incorporate meta-verification feedback into multimodal verifier training. We identify two key findings. First, symbolic verifier outputs (e.g., bounding boxes) outperform textual explanations as meta-verification rationales, enabling efficient rule-based reinforcement learning rewards while avoiding reliance on model-based rewards from auxiliary judge models. Second, decoupling reinforcement learning objectives for binary judgment and meta-verification substantially outperforms joint reward optimization, due to intrinsic differences in output structure and learning dynamics. Based on these insights, we train OmniVerifier-M1, a generalist visual verifier leveraging symbolic meta-verification and decoupled reinforcement learning. OmniVerifier-M1 provides robust verification and fine-grained error localization, and further enables M1-TTS, a verifier-driven agentic generation system achieving dynamic region-level self-correction. This approach paves the way for more reliable, interpretable, and fine-grained multimodal verification, supporting safer and more controllable foundation model deployment.
