Voice design from natural language aims to generate speaker timbres directly from free-form textual descriptions, allowing users to create voices tailored to specific roles, personalities, and emotions. Such controllable voice creation benefits a wide range of downstream applications-including storytelling, game dubbing, role-play agents, and conversational assistants, making it a significant task for modern Text-to-Speech models. However, existing models are largely trained on carefully recorded studio data, which produces speech that is clean and well-articulated, yet lacks the lived-in qualities of real human voices. To address these limitations, we present MOSS-VoiceGenerator, an open-source instruction-driven voice generation model that creates new timbres directly from natural language prompts. Motivated by the hypothesis that exposure to real-world acoustic variation produces more perceptually natural voices, we train on large-scale expressive speech data sourced from cinematic content. Subjective preference studies demonstrate its superiority in overall performance, instruction-following, and naturalness compared to other voice design models.

Spoken dialogue generation is crucial for applications like podcasts, dynamic commentary, and entertainment content, but poses significant challenges compared to single-utterance text-to-speech (TTS). Key requirements include accurate turn-taking, cross-turn acoustic consistency, and long-form stability, which current models often fail to address due to a lack of dialogue context modeling. To bridge this gap, we present MOSS-TTSD, a spoken dialogue synthesis model designed for expressive, multi-party conversational speech across multiple languages. With enhanced long-context modeling, MOSS-TTSD generates long-form spoken conversations from dialogue scripts with explicit speaker tags, supporting up to 60 minutes of single-pass synthesis, multi-party dialogue with up to 5 speakers, and zero-shot voice cloning from a short reference audio clip. The model supports various mainstream languages, including English and Chinese, and is adapted to several long-form scenarios. Additionally, to address limitations of existing evaluation methods, we propose TTSD-eval, an objective evaluation framework based on forced alignment that measures speaker attribution accuracy and speaker similarity without relying on speaker diarization tools. Both objective and subjective evaluation results show that MOSS-TTSD surpasses strong open-source and proprietary baselines in dialogue synthesis.

Language-aligned vision foundation models (VFMs) enable versatile visual understanding for always-on contextual AI, but their deployment on edge devices is hindered by strict latency and power constraints. We present AdaVFM, an adaptive framework for efficient on-device inference of language-aligned VFMs that dynamically adjusts computation based on scene context and task complexity. Our key insight is that the effect of model size reduction on performance is task-dependent in vision applications, motivating a runtime-adaptive execution strategy. AdaVFM integrates neural architecture search (NAS) into the language-aligned VFM backbone to enable lightweight subnet execution during runtime. A multimodal large language model (LLM) deployed on the cloud enables runtime control with a context-aware agent. This synergy allows efficient model adaptation under diverse conditions while maintaining strong accuracy. Extensive experiments on zero-shot classification and open-vocabulary segmentation demonstrate that AdaVFM achieves state-of-the-art accuracy-efficiency trade-offs, surpassing prior baselines by up to $7.9\%$ in acc@1 on IN1K and $5.2\%$ mIoU on ADE20K over the best models of comparable VFM sizes. For models with similar accuracy, AdaVFM further reduces average FLOPs by up to $77.9\%$.

This technical report presents MOSS-TTS, a speech generation foundation model built on a scalable recipe: discrete audio tokens, autoregressive modeling, and large-scale pretraining. Built on MOSS-Audio-Tokenizer, a causal Transformer tokenizer that compresses 24 kHz audio to 12.5 fps with variable-bitrate RVQ and unified semantic-acoustic representations, we release two complementary generators: MOSS-TTS, which emphasizes structural simplicity, scalability, and long-context/control-oriented deployment, and MOSS-TTS-Local-Transformer, which introduces a frame-local autoregressive module for higher modeling efficiency, stronger speaker preservation, and a shorter time to first audio. Across multilingual and open-domain settings, MOSS-TTS supports zero-shot voice cloning, token-level duration control, phoneme-/pinyin-level pronunciation control, smooth code-switching, and stable long-form generation. This report summarizes the design, training recipe, and empirical characteristics of the released models.

We investigate whether video generative models can exhibit visuospatial intelligence, a capability central to human cognition, using only visual data. To this end, we present Video4Spatial, a framework showing that video diffusion models conditioned solely on video-based scene context can perform complex spatial tasks. We validate on two tasks: scene navigation - following camera-pose instructions while remaining consistent with 3D geometry of the scene, and object grounding - which requires semantic localization, instruction following, and planning. Both tasks use video-only inputs, without auxiliary modalities such as depth or poses. With simple yet effective design choices in the framework and data curation, Video4Spatial demonstrates strong spatial understanding from video context: it plans navigation and grounds target objects end-to-end, follows camera-pose instructions while maintaining spatial consistency, and generalizes to long contexts and out-of-domain environments. Taken together, these results advance video generative models toward general visuospatial reasoning.

We introduce a framework that enables both multi-view character consistency and 3D camera control in video diffusion models through a novel customization data pipeline. We train the character consistency component with recorded volumetric capture performances re-rendered with diverse camera trajectories via 4D Gaussian Splatting (4DGS), lighting variability obtained with a video relighting model. We fine-tune state-of-the-art open-source video diffusion models on this data to provide strong multi-view identity preservation, precise camera control, and lighting adaptability. Our framework also supports core capabilities for virtual production, including multi-subject generation using two approaches: joint training and noise blending, the latter enabling efficient composition of independently customized models at inference time; it also achieves scene and real-life video customization as well as control over motion and spatial layout during customization. Extensive experiments show improved video quality, higher personalization accuracy, and enhanced camera control and lighting adaptability, advancing the integration of video generation into virtual production.

We present Vista4D, a robust and flexible video reshooting framework that grounds the input video and target cameras in a 4D point cloud. Specifically, given an input video, our method re-synthesizes the scene with the same dynamics from a different camera trajectory and viewpoint. Existing video reshooting methods often struggle with depth estimation artifacts of real-world dynamic videos, while also failing to preserve content appearance and failing to maintain precise camera control for challenging new trajectories. We build a 4D-grounded point cloud representation with static pixel segmentation and 4D reconstruction to explicitly preserve seen content and provide rich camera signals, and we train with reconstructed multiview dynamic data for robustness against point cloud artifacts during real-world inference. Our results demonstrate improved 4D consistency, camera control, and visual quality compared to state-of-the-art baselines under a variety of videos and camera paths. Moreover, our method generalizes to real-world applications such as dynamic scene expansion and 4D scene recomposition.

Creating hand-drawn animation sequences is labor-intensive and demands professional expertise. We introduce PhysAnimator, a novel approach for generating physically plausible meanwhile anime-stylized animation from static anime illustrations. Our method seamlessly integrates physics-based simulations with data-driven generative models to produce dynamic and visually compelling animations. To capture the fluidity and exaggeration characteristic of anime, we perform image-space deformable body simulations on extracted mesh geometries. We enhance artistic control by introducing customizable energy strokes and incorporating rigging point support, enabling the creation of tailored animation effects such as wind interactions. Finally, we extract and warp sketches from the simulation sequence, generating a texture-agnostic representation, and employ a sketch-guided video diffusion model to synthesize high-quality animation frames. The resulting animations exhibit temporal consistency and visual plausibility, demonstrating the effectiveness of our method in creating dynamic anime-style animations.

Language Models (LMs) are increasingly being used for code generation, but ensuring the correctness of generated programs remains a significant challenge. Although imperfect code may be acceptable during software development with human oversight, domains such as video games and robotics require one-shot correctness for runtime-critical components. We present a constrained decoding algorithm for generating semantically correct programs that incorporates a context-sensitive parser, which, at each step, outputs a regular expression that satisfies a critical non-extensible property to guide the generation of the next token sequence that can continue to a correct program. To build such a context-sensitive parser, we propose a framework of a dynamic tree of parsers (ToP) during parsing, where each parser corresponds to a modular context-free grammar enriched with contextual information such as variable scopes and type constraints, with tree branches representing ambiguity in the future code segment. We demonstrate our approach through sLua, a strongly typed variant of Lua, showing that our method can generate semantically correct programs conforming to any prescribed scripting API. We further show that, with careful design, our semantic guarantees extend to runtime correctness, as validated in the application of generating game mechanics for a roguelike video game.

Localizing root causes for multi-dimensional data is critical to ensure online service systems' reliability. When a fault occurs, only the measure values within specific attribute combinations are abnormal. Such attribute combinations are substantial clues to the underlying root causes and thus are called root causes of multidimensional data. This paper proposes a generic and robust root cause localization approach for multi-dimensional data, PSqueeze. We propose a generic property of root cause for multi-dimensional data, generalized ripple effect (GRE). Based on it, we propose a novel probabilistic cluster method and a robust heuristic search method. Moreover, we identify the importance of determining external root causes and propose an effective method for the first time in literature. Our experiments on two real-world datasets with 5400 faults show that the F1-score of PSqueeze outperforms baselines by 32.89%, while the localization time is around 10 seconds across all cases. The F1-score in determining external root causes of PSqueeze achieves 0.90. Furthermore, case studies in several production systems demonstrate that PSqueeze is helpful to fault diagnosis in the real world.

Graph database has enjoyed a boom in the last decade, and graph queries accordingly gain a lot of attentions from both the academia and industry. We focus on analytical queries in this paper. While analyzing existing domain-specific languages (DSLs) for analytical queries regarding the perspectives of completeness, expressiveness and programmability, we find out that none of existing work has achieved a satisfactory coverage of these perspectives. Motivated by this, we propose the \flash DSL, which is named after the three primitive operators Filter, LocAl and PuSH. We prove that \flash is Turing complete (completeness), and show that it achieves both good expressiveness and programmability for analytical queries. We provide an implementation of \flash based on code generation, and compare it with native C++ codes and existing DSL using representative queries. The experiment results demonstrate \flash's expressiveness, and its capability of programming complex algorithms that achieve satisfactory runtime.
