MOSS-VL Technical Report

We present MOSS-VL, an open vision-language model family that treats real-time interaction -- perceiving while it speaks -- as a first-class capability. It is co-designed across the stack: the language decoder attends to vision only through gated cross-attention, so the model can naturally see incoming frames while generating; a synthesized interaction corpus supervises when to speak, when to stay silent, and when to revise; and a staged curriculum concentrates all real-time-specific training in one light final stage over a strong offline foundation. Offline, MOSS-VL-Instruct is competitive at comparable scale and leads temporal-reasoning video sets. Across four streaming benchmarks, MOSS-VL-Realtime posts the best average on three (second on the fourth) among open-source streaming models, sweeping the three subsets that squarely test proactive behavior -- 66.0 vs. 37.5 for the best baseline on OmniMMI Proactive Alerting. With 11.3B parameters but visual tokens outside the decoded sequence, MOSS-VL widens its time-to-first-token advantage over same-backbone Qwen3-VL-8B from 2.8x to 5.1x as visual context grows. We release all five checkpoints, the training curriculum, and the real-time inference code at https://github.com/OpenMOSS/MOSS-VL.

Aero Realtime: Fully Aligned Input-Output Streams for Low-Latency Streaming Multimodal Generation

Existing streaming multimodal models process observations incrementally but still follow a turn-based prefill-then-decode pattern, making them non-duplex: new observations cannot naturally enter an active generation stream. Proactive alternatives use micro-turn polling or external response gates, which fragment continuous interaction, decouple response timing from language generation, and complicate KV-cache-friendly serving. We introduce Aero Realtime, a 4B streaming multimodal model with a duplex architecture for realtime generation. Aero Realtime aligns video, audio, and textual output on a shared temporal grid, where each approximately 80-ms audio slot predicts either a lexical token or a silence token. This allows input and output to advance together, enabling one autoregressive objective to learn both when to respond and what to generate. During inference, Aero Realtime appends only the newest multimodal slot, carries forward the previous output state, and reuses the KV cache for efficient incremental execution. We further provide a complete training and serving recipe, including realtime QA construction, slot-aligned supervision, hardware-aware distributed training, and resumable inference. On four NVIDIA A6000 workstation GPUs, Aero Realtime maintains 84-ms median and 173-ms P95 processing lag over 20 minutes of a continuously streamed video, remaining within 200~ms of the source timeline. These results demonstrate the feasibility of fully aligned input-output modeling for duplex, proactive, and hardware-aligned multimodal interaction.

JoyAI-Video-Edit: Real-Time Open-Ended Video Editing with Autoregressive Diffusion

Real-time video editing requires low-latency causal generation with bounded computational resources while preserving source fidelity and long-term temporal consistency. We present JoyAI-Video-Edit, a 16B-parameter autoregressive diffusion framework for real-time, open-ended video editing without access to future frames or a predefined video duration. Our method combines chunk-wise autoregressive adaptation, Source-Anchored Distribution Matching Distillation (SA-DMD), and Long-Horizon Autoregressive Distillation to reduce train--inference mismatch, preserve source fidelity during two-step generation, and mitigate accumulated temporal drift. Extensive automatic and human evaluations show that JoyAI-Video-Edit substantially outperforms existing streaming editors and remains competitive with strong offline systems on both short and long videos. The complete system achieves end-to-end 720p video editing at approximately 30 FPS on a single Nvidia B200 GPU. Code is available at https://github.com/jd-opensource/JoyAI-Video-Edit.

Rethinking Generative AI Literacy: An Integrative, Developmental, and Dialectical Framework for K-12 Teacher Education

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has entered classrooms faster than teachers have been prepared to use it well, producing a GenAI literacy lag in which technological diffusion outpaces educators' conceptual, pedagogical, and ethical readiness. Established AI literacy frameworks predate the widespread adoption of large language models and, while acknowledging ethics, position it as a discrete competency rather than a constitutive commitment, with equity and agency as supplementary design principles. Recent GenAI-specific efforts address isolated features but remain fragmented. We introduce the Responsible AI Literacy in Education (RAIL-Ed) framework, developed through a systematic review and qualitative framework analysis of 67 studies (2023-2025), grounded in critical, pragmatist, sociocultural, and human-centered traditions (Freire, Dewey, Vygotsky, Shneiderman). RAIL-Ed specifies six interdependent pillars: Technical Fluency, Critical Evaluation, Human-AI Collaboration, Contextual Awareness, Ethical Reasoning, and Empowered Agency, marked by three commitments. It is integrative: the absence of any pillar produces a characteristic pedagogical failure. It is developmental: a three-level rubric (Emerging, Competent, Advanced) specifies how each pillar matures across the K-12 teacher-preparation continuum. It is dialectical: the same generative affordance can deepen or displace learning depending on the literacy a teacher brings to it, making the cultivation of that literacy, not the adoption of the tool, the object of design. By treating ethics, equity, and agency as constitutive, RAIL-Ed offers a theoretically grounded basis for curriculum design, teacher education, and policy, aligned with the UNESCO AI Competency Framework for Teachers and the OECD/European Commission AILit Framework. The framework is conceptual, advancing falsifiable propositions for empirical validation.

AI Empowered Communication and Radar Modulation Recognition: A Survey

Automatic modulation recognition (AMR) is of vital importance for ensuring communication and radar reliability, efficient spectrum utilization and resistance to electronic interference. The development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology is reshaping the technological paradigm of AMR, promoting its transition from traditional modes relying on manual features to data-driven intelligent recognition. This change is not only reflected in the significant improvement of recognition accuracy, but also injects strong momentum into the intelligent evolution of both communication and radar systems through algorithm innovation, architecture optimization, and scenario expansion. In order to clarify the current development status and bottlenecks of AMR, and to find breakthrough directions, we make a comprehensive survey of recent AI-based technologies for AMR in this paper, including model-based machine learning (ML) methods and data-driven deep learning (DL) methods. We first investigate the modulation types used in current communication and radar systems. Next, we summarize the typically used features in the field of AMR, and discuss their inherent advantages and disadvantages. Then, we introduce the basic AI models for AMR and conduct a hierarchical investigation of AMR methods for communication and radar. Finally, based on existing research works, we highlight open issues and propose future research directions for AMR.

FedLSG: LLM-Enhanced Semantic Calibration for Federated Graph Backdoor Defense

Federated Graph Neural Networks (FedGNNs) are highly vulnerable to backdoor poisoning, yet existing defenses typically rely on rule-based approaches that lack semantic understanding, making them vulnerable to stealthy triggers and harmful to benign structures. To solve this, we present FedLSG, the first framework that integrates large language models (LLMs) into federated graph backdoor defense. FedLSG introduces a graph and behavior to text grounding scheme that transforms local graph structures and client update behaviors into semantically rich natural language representations. The framework further adopts a lightweight student-teacher architecture. On the server side, a full scale LLM serves as a teacher, providing global contextual guidance and evaluating client updates during aggregation to identify potentially malicious participants. On the client side, a LoRA-based student is maintained to perform semantic reasoning, to suppress the influence of edges associated with backdoor triggers. By enabling semantic interpretation of both graph patterns and client behaviors, the framework adaptively incorporates rule-based signals into message passing and client aggregation for defense. Experiments demonstrate that FedLSG significantly improves resistance to backdoor attacks without compromising graph integrity.

MGDT: MLLM-Guided Diffusion Transformer with Relation-Adaptive Mixture-of-Experts for Multimodal Knowledge Graph Completion

Multimodal Knowledge Graph Completion (MKGC) requires inferring missing entities from structural, textual, and visual cues. Existing diffusion-based MKGC methods usually denoise directly on raw multimodal features. Such a design forces the denoiser to simultaneously perform relation-dependent cue selection, cross-modal semantic alignment, and structure-aware entity generation, which introduces noisy and semantically inconsistent conditions for diffusion and consequently leads to suboptimal completion performance. To address this limitation, we propose MGDT: MLLM-Guided Diffusion Transformer with Relation-Adaptive Mixture-of-Experts (MGDT), a novel MKGC framework built on an align-then-diffuse paradigm. MGDT first employs a Relation-Adaptive Semantic Routing Mixture-of-Experts (RASR-MoE) module to select relation-relevant multimodal semantic transformation paths and suppress irrelevant modality interference. MGDT then uses a frozen Multimodal Large Language Model (MLLM) as a semantic anchor to align the routed multimodal representations into a unified latent space and reduce cross-modal semantic heterogeneity. Finally, a Knowledge Graph Diffusion Transformer (KGDT) performs graph-conditioned denoising generation in the aligned space to produce the missing entity representation. Experiments on three benchmark datasets show that MGDT consistently outperforms strong baselines.

Proof-or-Stop: Don't Trust the Agent, Trust the Evidence -- Loop Engineering for Verifiable Evidence-Gated Lifecycle Control

Autonomous coding agents increasingly execute multi-step software work, but lifecycle states such as reviewed, tested, DONE, and ready-to-merge remain claims unless supported by current evidence. We present Proof-or-Stop Lifecycle Control, a method that permits lifecycle transitions only when fresh, tracked-source-state-bound, mechanically verifiable evidence satisfies the relevant gate. The method treats agent outputs as claims rather than lifecycle state, and uses proof operationally to mean gate-admissible evidence under a stated trust model, not semantic program correctness. We evaluate an open-source implementation through mechanism tests, a powered control-policy ablation, and operated self-application evidence. The unattended-loop engine passed 10 of 10 scenarios with zero false-DONE, and local-key receipt bundles rejected 18 tamper classes with zero false accepts. In a 9,240-cell ablation, the pre-registered A4 versus A2-prime comparison reduced visible-pass/hidden-fail amplification from 31 of 1,800 injected cells under a compute-budgeted naive loop to 2 of 1,800 under the gated loop, a 1.6 percentage-point improvement in not-amplified rate with a 95 percent confidence interval of [0.8, 2.5]. A near-compute A3 versus A4 comparison, 14 of 1,800 versus 2 of 1,800, indicates that the gain is associated with enforcing review as a lifecycle gate rather than merely adding a reviewer. The self-application corpus contains 565 stories and 1,007 review findings, with 94.8 percent resolved, plus a 68-row high/critical cross-vendor exhibit. These results support Proof-or-Stop as a model-agnostic, host-neutral control layer for deciding which autonomous-agent claims a lifecycle may act on. The evaluation is limited to one model family, 24 ablation tasks, and a self-hosted corpus.

XS-VLA: Coupling Coarse-grained Spatial Distillation with Latent Flow Matching for Lightweight Robotic Control

Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have shown strong multimodal understanding and spatial grounding, but their computational cost limits real-time robotic control. In contrast, lightweight models are suitable for edge deployment but often suffer from "spatial blindness", namely weak native spatial prediction ability. Training Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models on mixed human demonstrations can also degrade policy performance due to highly diverse behaviors. To address these limitations, we propose XS-VLA, a two-stage framework for efficient and spatially grounded robotic manipulation. First, we distill spatial semantic knowledge from Qwen3-VL-4B into the SmolVLM2-0.25B backbone by fine-tuning on curated coarse-grained spatial descriptions, turning the lightweight model into a spatially grounded engine. Second, we use this enhanced backbone to condition a Latent Flow Matching policy. Unlike deterministic controllers, our policy combines a Conditional Variational Autoencoder (CVAE) with Flow Matching dynamics to model complex multimodal action distributions. On the LIBERO benchmark, XS-VLA achieves state-of-the-art performance among models with fewer than 0.5B parameters. It improves average success rates by up to 7.2 percent, including a 23 percent gain on LIBERO-Long, over the SmolVLA 0.25B baseline, and outperforms the larger 2.2B vanilla SmolVLA. Ablations show that spatial tuning and generative latent flow control substantially improve lightweight VLA performance, delivering a 3.2 times speedup in mission execution over the previous lightweight flow matching policy.

Accelerating Discrete Diffusion Models with Parallel-In-Time Sampling

Discrete diffusion models are widely used for learning and generating discrete distributions. As the generation process is inherently sequential, the acceleration of sampling is of significant importance. In this work, we parallelize the mainstream $τ$-leaping algorithm for absorbing discrete diffusion in a Continuous-Time Markov Chain (CTMC) framework. By leveraging the continuous-time stochastic integral form of the $τ$-leaping algorithm and the Picard iteration method, we achieve parallel-in-time sampling acceleration and provide a proof of exponential-factorial convergence for our algorithm. We improve the overall time complexity of $τ$-leaping under absorbing settings from ${\mathcal{O}}(d \log S)$ to ${\mathcal{O}}(\log (d\log S)\cdot \log d)$ with respect to NFE. Empirically, our method shows consistent acceleration across synthetic and real-data settings. The new sampler achieves at most $7$--$9\times$ runtime speedup for synthetic distribution, and maintains the same quality with $50\%$ fewer NFE and $1.45$--$1.86\times$ runtime speedups in image/text tasks on a single GPU. Our research expands the potential of discrete diffusion models for efficient parallel inference, with broader implications for applications such as molecular structure and language generation.
