AV‑GRPO introduces a modality‑anchored diffusion reinforcement learning framework for joint audio‑video generation, addressing limitations in fidelity, text‑modality alignment, and cross‑modal synchronization. It decouples learning signals through modality‑anchored rollouts, employs trajectory‑locked frozen‑tower optimization to reduce computational cost, and adapts objectives to each modality’s dynamics. The accompanying 5DAV dataset provides difficulty‑controllable, decoupled training samples, and experiments on JavisBench and VABench show AV‑GRPO surpasses LTX‑2.3 in generation quality, semantic alignment, and synchronization.

AVC-Reward introduces an event‑centric framework for evaluating audio‑video consistency in joint generation models. It separates audio and visual events, assesses them independently, cross‑validates cross‑modal relations, and aggregates results into a three‑level metric covering global narrative harmony, event‑level synchronization, and fine‑grained attribute alignment. The resulting AVC‑Reward model aligns closely with human judgments, offers interpretable failure localization, and enhances consistency when used as a reinforcement‑learning signal.
AVC-Reward introduces an event‑centric framework for evaluating audio‑video consistency, breaking down scenes into individual audio and visual events and assessing them at three levels: global narrative harmony, event‑level temporal synchronization, and fine‑grained attribute alignment. The metric, instantiated as a trainable reward model, is validated against human judgments using the AVC‑Benchmark, which contains diverse positive and negative samples from various generation models. AVC‑Reward outperforms existing automatic methods, offers interpretable failure localization, and enhances consistency when used as a reinforcement‑learning signal.

PRISM‑Bench is an audio‑centric diagnostic benchmark for text‑to‑audio‑video generation, built from 900 human‑verified samples. It evaluates audio along two axes—audio type (speech, music, sound) and sound‑source visibility (on‑screen vs. off‑screen)—across four perceptual dimensions (audio‑visual coherence, audio quality, audio expressiveness, and prompt following) using 35 fine‑grained criteria. The benchmark employs an enhanced MLLM‑as‑a‑Judge protocol that aligns strongly with human raters, revealing a performance gap between frontier and open‑source T2AV models and highlighting overfitting to perceptual fidelity while struggling with complex grounding and control tasks, especially for music and synchronized on‑screen audio.

StreamAV-Bench is the first comprehensive benchmark designed for streaming audio‑video generation, addressing the limitations of existing benchmarks that focus on completed sequences. It introduces a unified evaluation framework with a progressive track for instruction adherence and long‑horizon stability, and an interactive track for responsive interaction and state retention. The benchmark includes 32 fine‑grained, expert‑verified evaluation cases and evaluates 13 representative systems, revealing temporal drift in progressive generation and responsiveness bottlenecks in interactive control.
