Step 3.5 Flash: Open Frontier-Level Intelligence with 11B Active Parameters
Ailin Huang, Ang Li, Aobo Kong +213
We introduce Step 3.5 Flash, a sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model that bridges frontier-level agentic intelligence and computational efficiency. We focus on what matters most wh…
STEP3-VL-10B Technical Report
Ailin Huang, Chengyuan Yao, Chunrui Han +90
We present STEP3-VL-10B, a lightweight open-source foundation model designed to redefine the trade-off between compact efficiency and frontier-level multimodal intelligence. STEP3-…
PaCoRe: Learning to Scale Test-Time Compute with Parallel Coordinated Reasoning
Jingcheng Hu, Yinmin Zhang, Shijie Shang +17
We introduce Parallel Coordinated Reasoning (PaCoRe), a training-and-inference framework designed to overcome a central limitation of contemporary language models: their inability…
NextStep-1: Toward Autoregressive Image Generation with Continuous Tokens at Scale
NextStep Team, Chunrui Han, Guopeng Li +47
Prevailing autoregressive (AR) models for text-to-image generation either rely on heavy, computationally-intensive diffusion models to process continuous image tokens, or employ ve…
Step-3 is Large yet Affordable: Model-system Co-design for Cost-effective Decoding
StepFun, :, Bin Wang +195
Large language models (LLMs) face low hardware efficiency during decoding, especially for long-context reasoning tasks. This paper introduces Step-3, a 321B-parameter VLM with hard…
Step-Audio-AQAA: a Fully End-to-End Expressive Large Audio Language Model
Ailin Huang, Bingxin Li, Bruce Wang +73
Large Audio-Language Models (LALMs) have significantly advanced intelligent human-computer interaction, yet their reliance on text-based outputs limits their ability to generate na…
ViStoryBench: Comprehensive Benchmark Suite for Story Visualization
Cailin Zhuang, Ailin Huang, Yaoqi Hu +12
Story visualization aims to generate coherent image sequences that faithfully represent a narrative and match given character references. Despite progress in generative models, exi…
Step-Audio: Unified Understanding and Generation in Intelligent Speech Interaction
Ailin Huang, Boyong Wu, Bruce Wang +142
Real-time speech interaction, serving as a fundamental interface for human-machine collaboration, holds immense potential. However, current open-source models face limitations such…
Scale-Adaptive Feature Aggregation for Efficient Space-Time Video Super-Resolution
Zhewei Huang, Ailin Huang, Xiaotao Hu +3
The Space-Time Video Super-Resolution (STVSR) task aims to enhance the visual quality of videos, by simultaneously performing video frame interpolation (VFI) and video super-resolu…
A Dynamic Multi-Scale Voxel Flow Network for Video Prediction
Xiaotao Hu, Zhewei Huang, Ailin Huang +2
The performance of video prediction has been greatly boosted by advanced deep neural networks. However, most of the current methods suffer from large model sizes and require extra…
Collaborative Neural Rendering using Anime Character Sheets
Zuzeng Lin, Ailin Huang, Zhewei Huang
Drawing images of characters with desired poses is an essential but laborious task in anime production. Assisting artists to create is a research hotspot in recent years. In this p…
