arXiv:2604. 08558v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent decoder-only autoregressive text-to-speech (AR-TTS) models produce high-fidelity speech, but their memory and compute costs scale quadratically with sequence length due to full self-attention.

arXiv:2603. 24596v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While the shift from cascaded dialogue systems to end-to-end (E2E) speech Large Language Models (LLMs) improves latency and paralinguistic modeling, E2E models often exhibit a significant performance degradation compared to their text-based counterparts.

arXiv:2402. 14035v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Knowledge distillation from foundation models to compact domain models is challenging due to substantial gaps in capacity, architecture, and modality.

arXiv:2606. 16825v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures efficiently scale Large Language Models (LLMs) by activating only a small fraction of their experts per token, yet the full parameter count - dominated by the expert parameters - must be held in training and inference memory.

arXiv:2601. 06199v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Scaling Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) to long-form speech is bottlenecked by the explosive growth of input tokens.
