PRISM‑Bench is an audio‑centric diagnostic benchmark for text‑to‑audio‑video generation, built from 900 human‑verified samples. It evaluates audio along two axes—audio type (speech, music, sound) and sound‑source visibility (on‑screen vs. off‑screen)—across four perceptual dimensions (audio‑visual coherence, audio quality, audio expressiveness, and prompt following) using 35 fine‑grained criteria. The benchmark employs an enhanced MLLM‑as‑a‑Judge protocol that aligns strongly with human raters, revealing a performance gap between frontier and open‑source T2AV models and highlighting overfitting to perceptual fidelity while struggling with complex grounding and control tasks, especially for music and synchronized on‑screen audio.

arXiv:2606. 05121v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Audio is an inherently interactive modality, yet today's Large Audio Language Models (LALMs) are offline, and streaming audio models each handle only a single task such as streaming ASR or voice chatting.

arXiv:2605. 07061v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Joint audio-video generation models are rapidly approaching professional production quality, raising a central question: do they understand audio-visual physics, or merely generate plausible sounds and frames that violate real-world consistency?

Real-time long-form avatar audio--video generation requires causal, continuous synthesis while maintaining audiovisual synchronization and visual consistency. Adapting a pretrained bidirectional model to this setting presents two key dilemmas.

Encore is a new framework for generating long, synchronized audio‑video content. It splits the problem into local continuity, handled by iterative chunk‑wise synthesis with cross‑chunk context, and global consistency, enforced through reference audio‑video signals with shifted position embeddings. The Adaptive Signal Routing mechanism learns attention biases and residual scales to modulate the influence of each conditioning signal, enabling end‑to‑end joint audio‑video generation and infinite‑length inference.
