To address this challenge, we present AudioCALM, a universal audio generation framework that extends autoregressive (AR) next-token prediction from discrete tokens to continuous audio latents: a thin flow-matching head replaces the softmax to predict rectified-flow velocities at each position, and a block-causal AR-Flow attention pattern produces arbitrary-length output.
