VibeVoice-ASR-Streaming Technical Report

Yujie Tu, Zhiliang Peng, Jianwei Yu +11

Traditional speaker-attributed ASR systems treated ASR and speaker diarization as two separate tasks. Recently, end-to-end models such as VibeVoice-ASR have unified the two tasks w…

Multi-Turn On-Policy Distillation with Prefix Replay

Baohao Liao, Hanze Dong, Christof Monz +3

We study on-policy distillation (OPD) for agentic tasks, where an LLM agent interacts with an environment over multiple turns and a student imitates a teacher over these multi-turn…

VibeVoice-ASR-BitNet Technical Report

Songchen Xu, Ting Song, Shaohan Huang +10

We present VibeVoice-ASR-BitNet, a compressed variant of VibeVoice-ASR optimized for real-time inference on edge CPUs. We apply heterogeneous quantization tailored to the computati…

You Only Index Once: Cross-Layer Sparse Attention with Shared Routing

Yutao Sun, Yanqi Zhang, Li Dong +2

Long-context inference in modern LLMs is increasingly constrained by decoding efficiency, especially in reasoning-heavy settings where models generate long intermediate chains of t…

Universal YOCO for Efficient Depth Scaling

Yutao Sun, Li Dong, Tianzhu Ye +3

The rise of test-time scaling has remarkably boosted the reasoning and agentic proficiency of Large Language Models (LLMs). Yet, standard Transformers struggle to scale inference-t…

RefineRL: Advancing Competitive Programming with Self-Refinement Reinforcement Learning

Shaopeng Fu, Xingxing Zhang, Li Dong +2

While large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated strong performance on complex reasoning tasks such as competitive programming (CP), existing methods predominantly focus on sin…

Multiplex Thinking: Reasoning via Token-wise Branch-and-Merge

Yao Tang, Li Dong, Yaru Hao +3

Large language models often solve complex reasoning tasks more effectively with Chain-of-Thought (CoT), but at the cost of long, low-bandwidth token sequences. Humans, by contrast,…

VIBEVOICE-ASR Technical Report

Zhiliang Peng, Jianwei Yu, Yaoyao Chang +21

This report presents VibeVoice-ASR, a general-purpose speech understanding framework built upon VibeVoice, designed to address the persistent challenges of context fragmentation an…

Computer Environments Elicit General Agentic Intelligence in LLMs

Daixuan Cheng, Shaohan Huang, Yuxian Gu +6

Agentic intelligence in large language models (LLMs) requires not only model intrinsic capabilities but also interactions with external environments. Equipping LLMs with computers…

Two Pathways to Truthfulness: On the Intrinsic Encoding of LLM Hallucinations

Wen Luo, Guangyue Peng, Wei Li +8

Despite their impressive capabilities, large language models (LLMs) frequently generate hallucinations. Previous work shows that their internal states encode rich signals of truthf…

BitNet Distillation

Xun Wu, Shaohan Huang, Wenhui Wang +4

In this paper, we present BitNet Distillation (BitDistill), a lightweight pipeline that fine-tunes off-the-shelf full-precision LLMs (e.g., Qwen) into 1.58-bit precision (i.e., ter…

Information-Preserving Reformulation of Reasoning Traces for Antidistillation

Jiayu Ding, Lei Cui, Li Dong +2

Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) show that extending the length of reasoning chains significantly improves performance on complex tasks. While revealing these reason…

DocReward: A Document Reward Model for Structuring and Stylizing

Junpeng Liu, Yuzhong Zhao, Bowen Cao +17

Recent agentic workflows automate professional document generation but focus narrowly on textual quality, overlooking structural and stylistic professionalism, which is equally cri…

Reinforcement Pre-Training

Qingxiu Dong, Li Dong, Yao Tang +4

In this work, we introduce Reinforcement Pre-Training (RPT) as a new scaling paradigm for large language models and reinforcement learning (RL). Specifically, we reframe next-token…

Rectified Sparse Attention

Yutao Sun, Tianzhu Ye, Li Dong +6

Efficient long-sequence generation is a critical challenge for Large Language Models. While recent sparse decoding methods improve efficiency, they suffer from KV cache misalignmen…

Multimodal Latent Language Modeling with Next-Token Diffusion

Yutao Sun, Hangbo Bao, Wenhui Wang +5

Multimodal generative models require a unified approach to handle both discrete data (e.g., text and code) and continuous data (e.g., image, audio, video). In this work, we propose…

Self-Boosting Large Language Models with Synthetic Preference Data

Qingxiu Dong, Li Dong, Xingxing Zhang +2

Through alignment with human preferences, Large Language Models (LLMs) have advanced significantly in generating honest, harmless, and helpful responses. However, collecting high-q…

Differential Transformer

Tianzhu Ye, Li Dong, Yuqing Xia +4

Transformer tends to overallocate attention to irrelevant context. In this work, we introduce Diff Transformer, which amplifies attention to the relevant context while canceling no…
