Beyond Reconstruction: Full-Context Generative DiT for Music Generation

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.

Qwen-Audio-3.0-Gen-Preview Technical Report

Existing single-domain and multi-task audio systems remain limited in directly organizing heterogeneous audio components, ambience, and multiple roles into long-form temporal scenes. We present Qwen-Audio-3.0-Gen-Preview, a unified non-autoregressive framework that uses a Diffusion Transformer (DiT) and a shared variational autoencoder (VAE) to generate the complete mixed waveform. Prompt enhancement converts free-form requests into structured temporal records that are rendered as textual conditions, while a two-stage data curriculum and semantic conditional views train the proposed model to use these conditions across standalone and mixed-scene audio. A shared continuous VAE compresses 48kHz stereo waveforms into 25Hz latent sequences and incorporates semantic supervision, providing one representation for heterogeneous audio. On the public reference-conditioned benchmark, speaker similarity is the proposed model's clearest strength across all three subsets. Across the multi-speaker and rich-timeline benchmarks, its clearest comparative strengths are cross-turn consistency in both languages and temporal localization, respectively. On AudioCaps, its advantages are concentrated in evaluations using large audio-language models and AudioBox. These results demonstrate the potential of unified generation for temporally structured audio without task-specific branches.

Pushing the Frontier of Full-Song Generation: Hierarchical Autoregressive Planning Meets Flow-Matching Rendering

In this report, we present a unified song generation framework capable of producing high-quality full-length music from lyrics, text descriptions, and musical attributes. The proposed framework supports three tasks: Lyrics-to-Song Generation, which generates complete songs from text descriptions, lyrics, and musical attributes; Instrumental Music Generation, which creates music without vocals; and Cover Song Generation, which reinterprets existing songs with different styles while preserving their melodic content. Architecturally, our system consists of four main components: a semantic-aware tokenizer, hybird-LM, FullDiT, and a two-level melody module. The tokenizer encodes audio into 8-codebook RVQ tokens for efficient discrete music representation. Based on these tokens, hybird-LM performs hierarchical autoregressive audio-token modeling for full-song generation. To improve audio fidelity, FullDiT performs full-song flow matching in a continuous VAE latent space conditioned on codec tokens, lyrics, and text captions. For cover song generation, the melody module extracts and discretizes melody cues from reference audio to guide generation while preserving the original melodic content. Finally, we investigate DPO, GRPO, and OPD as reward-based post-training strategies for hybird-LM and apply flow-based GRPO to FullDiT to improve musicality and rendering quality. Experimental results on a multilingual automatic benchmark, complemented by the Artificial Analysis Music with Vocals leaderboard, show that the proposed framework achieves competitive performance in the evaluated settings.

A Compact 3D-Printed Soft Finger with Cyclic Hydraulic Actuation

Hydraulic soft fingers offer compliant and gentle manipulation, but their practical deployment is limited by bulky fluidic hardware, fabrication complexity, and insufficient design validation. This paper presents a compact 3D-printed soft hydraulic finger driven by a miniature cyclic peristaltic loop. The finger integrates compliant bellows, rigid connectors, and fluidic ports, while an Abaqus fluid-structure model is used to guide selection of wall thickness, pitch angle, and bellows length. The selected design is validated through baseline-corrected chamber-pressure measurements and vision-based angle tracking. Results show that the quasi-static finite-element model captures the main pressure-angle trends, with remaining offsets mainly attributed to bonding-induced stiffness and hydraulic losses. Vision-feedback control further enables repeatable angle tracking over a large bending range. Finally, grasping tests on fragile and deformable objects, including tofu and blueberries, demonstrate gentle, slip-free contact without visible damage. Overall, this work establishes a reproducible pipeline from FEA-guided design to closed-loop validation for compact 3D-printed hydraulic soft fingers.

ABC-Eval: Benchmarking Large Language Models on Symbolic Music Understanding and Instruction Following

As large language models continue to develop, the feasibility and significance of text-based symbolic music tasks have become increasingly prominent. While symbolic music has been widely used in generation tasks, LLM capabilities in understanding and reasoning about symbolic music remain largely underexplored. To address this gap, we propose ABC-Eval, the first open-source benchmark dedicated to the understanding and instruction-following capabilities in text-based ABC notation scores. It comprises 1,086 test samples spanning 10 sub-tasks, covering scenarios from basic musical syntax comprehension to complex sequence-level reasoning. Such a diverse scope poses substantial challenges to models' ability to handle symbolic music tasks. We evaluated seven state-of-the-art LLMs on ABC-Eval, and the results reveal notable limitations in existing models' symbolic music processing capabilities. Furthermore, the consistent performance of individual baselines across different sub-tasks supports the reliability of our benchmark.
