Visual goal and dynamics prediction can provide language-conditioned robot policies with both a target outcome and a representation of action-dependent scene changes. We bring these predictions into action generation and selection through a shared trajectory model. Dynin-Robotics implements this formulation on Dynin-Omni, an omnimodal masked-diffusion backbone, representing language, visual observations, goals, and actions as discrete tokens. By varying conditioning and target spans, the same model learns action prediction, action-conditioned next-observation prediction, terminal goal-state prediction, and trajectory-to-instruction reconstruction. These interfaces support test-time scaling through goal prediction, action-candidate evaluation, and joint refinement of action and future-state predictions. We continually pretrain the model on approximately 1.33 million trajectories from 48 Open X-Embodiment datasets and adapt it separately to downstream domains. On two VLABench tasks, robot pretraining improves adaptation within a fixed Stage-2 step budget, and the full objective mixture improves shifted-instruction success over Policy-only post-training under the same coupled decoder. Combining goal guidance with joint action-next-state denoising further improves shifted-instruction success over action-only decoding; the benefit depends on how the predictions are composed. Dynin-Robotics achieves competitive performance on LIBERO and zero-shot LIBERO-Plus, together with a 78.4% average success rate across four manipulation conditions on a Franka Research 3 robot. An optimized block-parallel implementation accelerates model-side action decoding by up to 29.2x relative to the base implementation under the reported profiling setup. These results support shared trajectory modeling as a common interface for learning complementary robot objectives and composing their predictions during control.
Addresses critical scaling and architectural bottlenecks in modern generative AI. By moving beyond traditional trade-offs, it delivers enhanced capability while controlling compute overhead.

Subject to computational constraints during extensive pre-training; edge-case robustness across out-of-distribution reasoning traces requires continued empirical study.
We introduce StepAudio 3 Music, a large-scale, long-form music generation model that supports explicit musical planning and open-domain text-controlled generation. The StepAudio Music Tokenizer represents audio as a 50-Hz stream from a 65536-entry single codebook, using semantically informed self-supervised and multi-task training to preserve musical structure and reconstruction-relevant information. A flow-matching diffusion Transformer (DiT) predicts continuous StepAudio VAE latents, which our VAE decoder converts into 48-kHz audio. This discrete-continuous design is guided by comparisons of single-codebook VQ, Semantic and Acoustic RVQ, and different DiT configurations. For explicit planning, a Mixture-of-Experts autoregressive model uses ABC notation to produce an intermediate arrangement plan (ABC-CoT) before predicting music tokens, making harmony, rhythm, and melodic structure part of the generation context. A progressive training curriculum and supervised fine-tuning support song and instrumental generation, accompaniment generation from dry vocals, and cover-song synthesis for up to 5 minutes and 30 seconds. With reinforcement learning via direct preference optimization (DPO), the final model achieves the highest AudioBox Content Enjoyment, Content Usefulness, and Production Quality scores and the highest MuQ-MuLan similarity among the evaluated systems, with competitive SongBench results. On the preliminary Artificial Analysis Music Arena Vocals leaderboard, it obtains a Quality Elo of 1105, behind only Suno V5.5 and Mureka and ahead of Suno V5, MiniMax models, and other systems.

Interactive video world models must maintain broad scene context under camera motion while producing high-fidelity observations with low latency. Existing approaches face a representation trade-off: perspective models operate on local views and must preserve off-screen content over long rollouts, whereas broader spatial coverage is typically obtained by synthesizing full-sphere videos or constructing explicit 3D representations. Motivated by the complementary roles of global context and selective local acuity in visual perception, we present AlayaVista, a camera-controllable streaming video world model that decouples panoramic world evolution from perspective observation synthesis. Given a single perspective image, AlayaVista constructs a 360-degree scene prior using a pretrained panorama expansion model and then evolves the scene as a camera-conditioned panoramic latent state. A latent viewport renderer maps this state to the requested perspective video latents, while a perspective refiner restores details, suppresses artifacts, and performs super-resolution. To support efficient streaming, we adapt the panoramic generator to chunk-autoregressive generation and distill both panoramic generation and perspective refinement into few-step processes. To provide the supervision required by this design, we construct MUGEN, a large-scale real-world panoramic video dataset containing 1,318 hours of videos at resolutions of at least 4K, together with rich semantic and geometric annotations.
