The paper presents a streamlined audio‑visual question answering agent that reduces the number of specialized perception tools by pruning and merging modality‑specific tools into omni‑modal ones. Starting from a specialized‑tool OmniAgent, the authors systematically remove redundant tools and consolidate audio and visual capabilities into just two omni‑modal components—captioning and QA. On three standard AVQA benchmarks, the compact agent matches or surpasses the performance of the original specialized‑tool agent while cutting inference cost by roughly 70%.
OmniVChat defines a native audio‑visual dialogue task where models receive raw audio and video from a user and produce text responses, eliminating the need for separate text queries or speech recognition. To address data scarcity and evaluation challenges, the authors introduce OmniVChat‑Studio, a multi‑agent engine that synthesizes single‑ and multi‑turn dialogues, and OmniVChat‑Bench, a benchmark assessing models across five dialogue ability categories. They also propose OmniVChat‑RL, a reinforcement‑learning reward that balances reply correctness, efficiency, and style, and demonstrate that training Qwen3‑Omni‑Instruct with this reward on synthesized data improves performance on both synthetic and human‑recorded benchmarks.

Qwen3.8-Omni-Flash is a natively multimodal agentic model designed for real‑world multimodal productivity, offering enhanced multimodal understanding, reasoning, and long‑horizon agentic task performance. It builds on a sparse mixture‑of‑experts architecture, extends its context window to one million tokens, and supports long‑context multimodal reasoning and planning. The release includes Qwen-MM-Plugins for native audio and video support and Qwen-Live-Harness for building responsive, real‑time multimodal agents, with extensive evaluations confirming strong performance across multimodal tasks.
We introduce Qwen3.8-Omni-Flash, a natively multimodal agentic model for real-world multimodal productivity. Compared with previous omni models, which primarily emphasized perception and interaction,...
