InteractGesture is a model‑agnostic, inference‑time method that enables fine‑grained spatial control of individual joints in continuous streaming co‑speech gesture generation. It guides diffusion sampler latent estimates through a differentiable RVQ‑VAE decoder, backpropagating spatial control gradients to adjust motion latents during sampling. To address chunk‑wise dependency issues in streaming generation, the method introduces Progressive Chunk Guidance, a chunk‑window strategy that keeps an active set of editable chunk latents with staggered delays, allowing spatial constraints to propagate gradients backward across chunk boundaries and reducing boundary inconsistencies.

Motion-Omni is an end‑to‑end framework that jointly generates spoken dialogue and full‑body motion, producing speech, facial expressions, and hand, upper‑body, and lower‑body movements directly from the hidden states of a language model. The system requires joint training of the language model, speech generator, and motion generator to maintain audio‑motion alignment, and it is supervised using a scalable, model‑agnostic pipeline that pseudo‑labels 422,856 speech‑motion pairs. With a Qwen2.5‑7B‑Instruct backbone, Motion‑Omni‑Q7 achieves near‑cascade performance on motion metrics while being 5.4× faster, and it outperforms other non‑teacher cascades on beat correlation, diversity, and word error rate.
