An Efficient vLLM-Based Inference Pipeline for Unified Audio Understanding and Generation

Haoran Wang, Jinchuan Tian, Siddhant Arora, Shinji Watanabe

While Large Multimodal Models excel in comprehension, high-throughput inference engines lack native support for multimodal generation. This is severe in Speech Language Models, where generating multi-layered audio tokens via decoupled AR+NAR or synchronous Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) with delay-pattern interleaving conflicts with standard single-stream loops. We present a vLLM-based inference pipeline for unified speech understanding and generation. We extend autoregressive decoding to natively execute delay-pattern de-interleaving and coordinated multi-stream sampling, integrating an on-GPU acoustic decoder for end-to-end waveform synthesis. Crucially, we overcome the shared intuition that Classifier-Free Guidance (CFG) halves throughput. By co-scheduling paired conditional and unconditional requests within a continuous batch, our CFG implementation sustains 80% of non-CFG throughput, absorbing dual-request and logit merging overheads. We open-source our framework.

Multiplicity of Stable Attractors in Disordered Neural Models

Raffaele Marino, Roberto Livi, Antonio Politi

We show how large-deviation statistics allows one to obtain reliable estimates of the multiplicity of stable fixed-points in a model of neural ordinary differential equations previously employed in computational tasks. The result is obtained by developing a suitable perturbative…
