PRIME-Speech adds low-latency speech output to frozen S2T LLMs by synchronizing a causal post-decoder with intermediate hidden states and using mixed conditioning plus turn-level KV-cache packing, preserving original S2T performance across translation, QA, and dialogue tasks.

C-Gate represents speech frames as convex combinations of LLM token embeddings to enforce manifold compatibility, delivering up to 48.7% relative WER reduction on LibriSpeech while preserving emotion recognition accuracy.
Introduces a representation-geometry-based taxonomy for continual learning in speech and audio, identifies mismatches with current CL assumptions in foundation models, and lists open challenges.
TextPro-SLM reduces the speech-text modality gap by feeding an LLM backbone with synchronized text tokens and prosody embeddings from WhisperPro, achieving lowest gap scores at 3B/7B scales with roughly 1,000 hours of audio.
