MTAVG-Bench 2.0: Diagnosing Failure Modes of Cinematic Expressiveness in Multi-Talker Audio-Video Generation

In recent years, Multi-Talker Audio-Video Generation (MTAVG) models have shown promising performance on fundamental metrics such as lip-sync and audio-visual alignment. However, these metrics remain insufficient for assessing cinematic expressiveness in scene-level generation. In multi-character scenes, generation models must go beyond audio-visual realism to convey coherent character performance and other higher-level cinematic qualities. To fill this gap, we introduce MTAVG-Bench 2.0, a benchmark for diagnosing failure modes of cinematic expressiveness in multi-talker audio-video generation. Unlike prior settings that mainly focus on the quality of basic multi-turn dialogue, MTAVG-Bench 2.0 targets short-drama and scene-level generation, and establishes a high-level failure taxonomy spanning acting, narrative, atmosphere, and audio-visual language. Based on this taxonomy, we construct more than 10,000 question-answering evaluation instances, together with subsets for short-drama-level assessment and temporal localization of failure modes, to systematically evaluate the ability of omni large language models to diagnose high-level audio-visual failures. Experimental results show that commercial omni models such as Gemini substantially outperform other evaluators, yet even the strongest models continue to struggle with complex failures in our benchmark. These results demonstrate that MTAVG-Bench 2.0 provides a systematic benchmark for failure diagnosis in cinematic multi-talker audio-video generation.

R1-Code-Interpreter: LLMs Reason with Code via Supervised and Multi-stage Reinforcement Learning

Practical guidance on training Large Language Models (LLMs) to leverage Code Interpreter across diverse tasks remains lacking. We present R1-Code-Interpreter, an extension of a text-only LLM trained via multi-turn supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and reinforcement learning (RL) to autonomously generate multiple code queries during step-by-step reasoning. Unlike prior RL + tool-use efforts focused on narrow domains such as math or retrieval, we curate 144 diverse reasoning and planning tasks and show that training a general-purpose Code Interpreter across them presents significant challenges due to task heterogeneity and scarcity of effective samples. To address this, we introduce a multi-stage curriculum learning approach that partitions training samples by measured improvement potential. The RL training prioritizes samples with higher potential and gradually shifts to lower-potential ones, increasing the average RL gains from merely +3.4% to +9.3% across Qwen-2.5 models (3/7/14B). Our final model, R1-CI-14B, improves average accuracy on the 37 test tasks from 44.1% to 72.4%, outperforming text-only GPT-4o (58.6%) and GPT-4o with Code Interpreter (70.9%). Notably, R1-CI-14B also exhibits emergent self-checking behavior through code generation.

CodeSteer: Symbolic-Augmented Language Models via Code/Text Guidance

Existing methods fail to effectively steer Large Language Models (LLMs) between textual reasoning and code generation, leaving symbolic computing capabilities underutilized. We introduce CodeSteer, an effective method for guiding LLM code/text generation. We construct a comprehensive benchmark SymBench comprising 37 symbolic tasks with adjustable complexity and also synthesize datasets of 12k multi-turn guidance/generation trajectories and 5.5k guidance comparison pairs. We fine-tune the Llama-3-8B model with a newly designed multi-turn supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and direct preference optimization (DPO). The resulting model, CodeSteerLLM, augmented with the proposed symbolic and self-answer checkers, effectively guides the code/text generation of larger models. Augmenting GPT-4o with CodeSteer raises its average performance score from 53.3 to 86.4, even outperforming the existing best LLM OpenAI o1 (82.7), o1-preview (74.8), and DeepSeek R1 (76.8) across all 37 tasks (28 seen, 9 unseen). Trained for GPT-4o, CodeSteer demonstrates superior generalizability, providing an average 41.8 performance boost on Claude, Mistral, and GPT-3.5. CodeSteer-guided LLMs fully harness symbolic computing to maintain strong performance on highly complex tasks. Models, Datasets, and Codes are available at https://github.com/yongchao98/CodeSteer-v1.0 and https://huggingface.co/yongchao98.
