FireRedAudio is a 9‑billion‑parameter audio language model that separates continuous input representations for audio understanding and speech generation, enabling a single autoregressive LLM to perform tasks such as ASR, zero‑shot TTS, Instruct TTS, and semantic/acoustic speech editing. The model uses a dedicated Audio Encoder for recognition and a RedAE‑based pathway for generation, with the LLM directly generating text or conditioning a flow‑matching DiT to produce acoustic latents. Evaluations show competitive or leading performance in multilingual ASR, content‑accurate zero‑shot TTS, strong instruction following, and significant improvements in speech editing over prior work.

AVENUE is a new benchmark and evaluation framework for audio‑video editing that includes 1,291 source clips and 7,957 editing instructions covering audio‑targeted, video‑targeted, and coupled edits. It introduces a sample‑specific, modality‑aware evaluation that specifies the intended change and the content that must remain unchanged. The study applies this framework to joint, sequential, and separate editing models, revealing that existing models often alter unintended modalities, highlighting a key challenge in controllable AV editing.
