FacePlex: Full-Duplex Joint Speech-Facial Motion Generation for Conversational Avatars

Natural face-to-face conversation requires real-time speech generation together with synchronized facial motion. Existing systems only partially address this problem: speech-only full-duplex models can generate speech in real time but do not produce facial motion, while audio-driven facial motion models animate a face from already available audio rather than jointly generating speech and motion online.

GestureFAR: Streaming Co-Speech Gesture Generation with Flow Autoregression

GestureFAR is a flow‑autoregressive framework that generates natural co‑speech gestures from streaming speech while preserving causality and continuous motion expressiveness. It autoregresses over continuous motion latents using a transformer for audio‑motion context and a flow‑matching head to sample the next latent. A head‑only flow distillation strategy further reduces latency by collapsing multi‑step flow sampling into a single network evaluation, enabling real‑time token‑causal generation with improved quality‑latency trade‑off on the BEAT2 benchmark.
