TLive-Omni: An Omni-Modal Understanding Model for E-Commerce Live Streaming

TLive-Omni is an omni‑modal understanding model designed for e‑commerce live streaming, integrating image, video, audio, and text inputs into a unified representation. It introduces Per‑vGrid for timestamped token organization, a three‑stage supervised training pipeline, and a Faithful‑RFT reinforcement fine‑tuning stage to enhance answer faithfulness and expression quality. The model is supported by a scenario‑oriented capability taxonomy and a compact data production engine that generates training signals for tasks such as speech recognition, product visual grounding, and omni‑modal QA, achieving strong performance on live‑commerce benchmarks and good generalization to general tasks.

Grounded Product Understanding in Livestream Videos

The paper introduces GPUB, a large-scale benchmark for grounded product understanding in e‑commerce livestream videos, featuring 3,000 livestreams, 31K fashion products, and multi‑moment temporal annotations. It defines three evaluation tasks, with the main task (GPrU) requiring simultaneous product identification and moment localization. Existing multimodal models perform poorly on GPrU, prompting the authors to develop UniPro, which improves performance by learning product‑aligned, temporally structured representations.

Training-Free Speech-Centric Omni Understanding with Frozen VLMs

The paper introduces Training-Free Omni (TFO), a plug‑and‑play framework that transforms a frozen vision‑language model (VLM) into a speech‑centric omni model without modifying its architecture or requiring multimodal re‑alignment. TFO leverages Whisper to generate confidence‑filtered, timestamped transcripts and routes them through the VLM’s existing language interface, leaving the visual pathway untouched. Evaluations on 56 benchmarks across 21 languages show that TFO matches or surpasses native omni models on audio‑visual tasks, improves audio‑only performance, and preserves strong visual and reasoning capabilities.

Temporally-Grounded Language Generation: Towards Real-Time Vision-Language Models

The paper introduces Temporally-Grounded Language Generation (TGLG), a benchmark that tests vision‑language models on their ability to produce semantically accurate and temporally precise utterances in real‑time settings. It identifies perceptual updating and contingency awareness as key capabilities, curates datasets from sports broadcasting and egocentric interactions, and proposes the TRACE metric to jointly evaluate semantic similarity and temporal alignment. The authors also present VLM‑TSI, a model that interleaves visual and linguistic tokens in a time‑synchronized manner, achieving better performance than a strong baseline yet still showing modest overall results, underscoring the challenge of real‑time VLMs.

OmniReasoning: Pushing the Limits of Audio-Visual Joint Reasoning

OmniReasoning introduces a new benchmark, OmniReasoningBench, that requires both audio and visual evidence for answering 1,150 multiple-choice and open-ended questions across two tasks. The authors also develop OmniQA, a data engine that automatically generates evidence‑grounded QA pairs with time‑stamped clue chains, producing training datasets OmniReasoning‑SFT‑112K and OmniReasoning‑RL‑19K. Finally, they propose Modality‑Factored Self‑Distillation (MFSD), an on‑policy self‑distillation method that assigns token‑level credit by evaluating responses under modality‑specific clue contexts, enabling the OmniReasoning‑30B‑A3B model to achieve significant performance gains on both the new benchmark and existing video benchmarks.
