This paper proposes EDEN (Embedding-space Directional Exploration via anchored Noise), which intervenes at the rollout source through anchored input perturbations and outperforms GRPO and the exploration controls evaluated in the same pipeline, with the largest gains in sampled solution coverage.

Realtime spoken interaction demands deep reasoning, prompt responses, and fluid turn-taking. We present StepAudio 3 Realtime, an audio-language foundation model organized around a continuous listen-converse-think-act loop. Deep Perception captures rich acoustic cues to interpret user intent, while Seamless Duplex model...

An adaptive anisotropic learning-rate model is proposed that assigns each rank-one component its own effective learning rate, computed online from training-time signals and mean-normalized per module to preserve the global LR budget.

ParaASR is introduced, an ASR system that leverages Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) to let a 4B LLM decoder emit multiple tokens per forward step and shows that decoder scaling, low-latency inference, and long-context transcription need not be competing goals when future-token proposals are anchored by the acoustic signal...
