SpeechGym is an audio‑native environment that lets two omni‑modal models converse entirely in native audio, eliminating external ASR/TTS and API boundaries while preserving the tasks, tools, and success checks of a standard text‑based agent benchmark. By training end‑to‑end, the framework addresses perceptual failures—such as misheard arguments that cascade into failed calls—and behavioural failures, both of which are automatically labeled for free. Using per‑turn process rewards to overcome reward sparsity, agents trained in SpeechGym transfer to an independent voice benchmark, doubling task success and improving efficiency in turns and tokens.

The paper introduces Hybrid Search, a method that refines warm-initialized large language model (LLM) based automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems by exploiting interactions between ASR hidden states and the base LLM’s hidden states. By identifying tokens with high semantic dependence and selectively correcting them, the approach surpasses traditional global LLM‑correction techniques such as rescoring and late fusion. The study demonstrates that even after warm initialization, LLM‑based ASR models can further benefit from their base LLM during inference.
