Hybrid music generators combine the long-range planning of an autoregressive language model with the fidelity of a diffusion- or flow-based acoustic renderer. Yet renderers are trained with clean, target-derived codec tokens but deployed with imperfect language-model predictions, creating codecinterface exposure bias. Rather than treating rendering as a simple reconstruction task,we formulate it as full-context generation from an imperfect discrete plan. We introduce FullDiT, a conditional DiT that fuses eight frame-aligned RVQ streams with independently encoded captions and lyrics and uses non-causal self-attention over the complete acoustic latent sequence. During training, Error-Matched Distractor Conditioning (EMDC) matches per-codebook replacement rates to teacher-forced top-1 error rates and samples near-miss tokens from cosine-KNN neighborhoods without changing the acoustic target. At inference, four-way classifier-free guidance (4-CFG) independently scales codec, lyric, and caption guidance increments. Matched ablations show that EMDC improves ViSQOL by 0.77 under synthetic corruption and is clearly preferred in non-tied comparisons with fixed languagemodel tokens. Further ablations show gains from full-song context and renderer-side text conditioning. The complete system outperforms five commercial systems on 15 of 18 automatic metrics and ranks among the top three on the Artificial Analysis Music with Vocals Leaderboard.

In this report, we present Qwen-Audio-3.0-TTS, a production-oriented speech synthesis system that jointly advances content consistency, speaker similarity, prosodic naturalness, audio quality, controllability, multilingual coverage, efficiency, and robustness. It combines a 12.5~Hz low-frame-rate speech tokenizer for reduced inference latency with a five-stage progressive training paradigm for coordinated language model (LM) and flow-matching model (FM) optimization. The model provides production-level control through free-style natural-language instructions and fine-grained inline tags, while supporting 16 languages, 20 Chinese dialect regions, one-pass long-form synthesis up to 3 minutes, and robust generation from noisy, reverberant, or unclear reference speech. Across SEED-TTS-Eval, CV3-Eval, instruction-following, long-form, and acoustic-robustness evaluations, Qwen-Audio-3.0-TTS achieves state-of-the-art performance on many reported dimensions or the strongest aggregate results. It also ranks first on the independent Artificial Analysis Text-to-Speech Leaderboard. These results establish Qwen-Audio-3.0-TTS as a strong foundation for production-level speech synthesis.

Spoken Language Understanding (SLU) is the core component of task-oriented dialogue systems and a pivotal link in achieving seamless human-agent interaction. While traditional SLU can effectively extract user semantics for closed-set tasks after in-domain supervised fine-tuning, it faces significant challenges in leveraging in-context learning for open-domain tasks due to its ambiguous rule definitions. This work proposes Spoken Function Calling (SFC), a novel semantic understanding perspective that optimizes semantic understanding with structured rule definitions, to evolve beyond traditional closed-set SLU. Specifically, we curate and extend a suite of spoken functions based on traditional SLU datasets, construct a multi-agent system to synthesize the SFC-Bench dataset, evaluate the performance of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Large Audio Language Models (LALMs), and enhance the SFC capabilities of LALMs through post-training. Experiments demonstrate that SFC outperforms traditional SLU, substantially enhancing the semantic extraction accuracy for LLMs and LALMs.

This work proposes Efficient Chain-of-Modality Reasoning (ECoM Reasoning), the first framework to introduce compressed reasoning into SLMs, and proposes Progressive Compression, a curriculum-based strategy that gradually trains the model from full-form reasoning to compressed reasoning.

The Jacobian lens (J-lens) has been proposed as a way to read verbalizable representations from language models. However, its principle and meaning lack a detailed and theoretical discussion. We provide a mathematical view of this interpretation and of its assumed causal structure. Besides treating the J-lens as a heuristic probe, we further regard it as a first-order causal transfer operator from intermediate activations to expected future readouts. We study the Jacobian matrix as the optimal local linear approximation of the downstream mapping, analyze its global approximation behavior and bias, and identify its mathematical meaning as an expectation over anticipated future readouts. Further analysis of the Jacobian energy distribution reveals that its causal geometry is highly sparse. The energy decays with depth, concentrates in an extremely small proportion, and decomposes into diagonal pathways and specific critical positions. This decomposition further resolves the expectation of the J-lens over future outputs into short-horizon and sparse concept predictions, providing a more intuitive attribution and explanation for the ability of the J-lens to visualize concepts during the thinking process. Based on the theory, we propose a simple but effective improvement strategy and decoupling method for the J-lens, which significantly enhances the ability of the J-lens to read out correct intermediate concepts.
