arXiv:2607. 03050v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Omni modal large language models (OmniLLMs) have attracted wide attention for their ability to jointly process audio and video, but they generate large token sequences under audio-visual inputs, leading to substantial inference cost.

arXiv:2606. 07577v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Audio-visual large language models (LLMs) hold strong promise for long-form video understanding, yet their long-video inference is fundamentally limited by the linear growth of video tokens and key-value (KV) caches.

Omnimodal language models (OLMs) enable unified audio-visual understanding, but processing long joint token sequences makes inference computationally prohibitive. While recent token compression methods attempt to alleviate this burden, compressing modalities in isolation often destroys the temporal cross-modal anchors necessary for coherent reasoning.

The paper introduces Omni-Interactive Universal Embedder (OmniUE), a unified embedding framework that learns a single representation space for text, video, and audio using learnable tokens and intermediate-layer representations. OmniUE supports omni-interactive querying, allowing users to input text, visual regions, or audio spans, which are processed by segmenters and an omni-LLM to generate user-conditioned embeddings. The authors evaluate OmniUE on the new OmniCHOIR benchmark and other multimodal tasks, reporting significant performance gains over state‑of‑the‑art baselines across textual, audio, and visual interactive settings.

OmniKVQuant introduces a training‑free framework for quantizing the key‑value (KV) cache of omni‑modal large language models (Omni‑LLMs) that process audio, video, and text simultaneously. The method addresses two identified problems—temporal key drift and heterogeneous value geometry—by setting key quantization ranges over short input windows and rotating values separately for each modality. Applied to Qwen2.5‑Omni and Qwen3‑Omni, OmniKVQuant achieves 2‑bit KV caches while largely preserving performance across seven audio‑visual benchmarks, and includes a fused Triton decode kernel that eliminates the need for a dense FP16 cache.
