While the user talks, though, current systems just emit a stream of silence tokens. This wastes the listening period and may push an autoregressive model toward degenerate repetition. The authors propose CT-SDLM (implemented as… 2. **[Step-Audio-R1 Technical Report](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/tian-2025-step-audio-r1-technical/)** *(2025 · 3 citations)* Audio language models usually perform worse when they reason at length, which runs against the test-time compute scaling seen in text and vision models. 3. **[LLM-ForcedAligner: A Non-Autoregressive and Accurate LLM-Based Forced Aligner for Multilingual and Long-Form Speech](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/mu-2026-llm-forcedaligner-non-autoregressive-accurate/)** *(2026 · 2 citations)* Forced alignment (FA) assigns start and end times to each word or character of a known transcript. Existing aligners such as MFA, NFA, CIF and WhisperX depend on language-specific resources and tend to drift on long recordings. Speech LLMs that generate timestamps token by token can hallucinate and run slowly.
