StreamAV-Bench: A Comprehensive Benchmark for Streaming Audio-Video Generation

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.

AG-REPA: Causal Layer Selection for Representation Alignment in Audio Flow Matching

arXiv:2603. 01006v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: REPresentation Alignment (REPA) improves the training of generative flow models by aligning intermediate hidden states with pretrained teacher features, but its effectiveness in token-conditioned audio Flow Matching critically depends on the choice of supervised layers, which is typically made heuristically based on the depth.

Shao: Scaling Acoustic Token Language Models Toward High-Fidelity Music Generation

arXiv:2605. 01790v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: A common design pattern in high-quality music generation is to handle structure and fidelity in different representation spaces: a generator first models high-level structure, followed by diffusion-based or neural decoding stages that reconstruct fine details.
