Inspired by the development of OpenClaw, there is a growing demand for mobile-based personal agents capable of handling complex and intuitive interactions. In this technical report, we introduce X-OmniClaw, a unified mobile agent designed for multimodal understanding and interaction in the Android ecosystem. This unified architecture of perception, memory, and action enables the agent to handle complex mobile tasks with high contextual awareness. Specifically, Omni Perception provides a unified multimodal ingress pipeline that integrates UI states, real-world visual contexts, and speech inputs, leveraging a temporal alignment module to decompose raw data into structured multimodal intent representations. Omni Memory leverages multimodal memory optimization to enhance personalized intelligence by integrating runtime working memory for task continuity with long-term personal memory distilled from local data, enabling highly context-aware and personalized interactions. Finally, Omni Action employs a hybrid grounding strategy that combines structural XML metadata with visual perception for robust interaction. Through Behavior Cloning and Trajectory Replay, the system captures user navigation as reusable skills, enabling precise direct-access execution. Demonstrations across diverse scenarios show that X-OmniClaw effectively enhances interaction efficiency and task reliability, providing a practical architectural blueprint for the next generation of mobile-native personal assistants.

Recently Convolution-augmented Transformer (Conformer) has shown promising results in Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), outperforming the previous best published Transformer Transducer. In this work, we believe that the output information of each block in the encoder and decoder is not completely inclusive, in other words, their output information may be complementary. We study how to take advantage of the complementary information of each block in a parameter-efficient way, and it is expected that this may lead to more robust performance. Therefore we propose the Block-augmented Transformer for speech recognition, named Blockformer. We have implemented two block ensemble methods: the base Weighted Sum of the Blocks Output (Base-WSBO), and the Squeeze-and-Excitation module to Weighted Sum of the Blocks Output (SE-WSBO). Experiments have proved that the Blockformer significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art Conformer-based models on AISHELL-1, our model achieves a CER of 4.29\% without using a language model and 4.05\% with an external language model on the testset.

Real-time understanding of continuous video streams is essential for interactive assistants and multimodal agents operating in dynamic environments. However, most existing video reasoning approaches follow a batch paradigm that defers reasoning until the full video context is observed, resulting in high latency and growing computational cost that are incompatible with streaming scenarios. In this paper, we introduce ThinkStream, a framework for streaming video reasoning based on a Watch--Think--Speak paradigm that enables models to incrementally update their understanding as new video observations arrive. At each step, the model performs a short reasoning update and decides whether sufficient evidence has accumulated to produce a response. To support long-horizon streaming, we propose Reasoning-Compressed Streaming Memory (RCSM), which treats intermediate reasoning traces as compact semantic memory that replaces outdated visual tokens while preserving essential context. We further train the model using a Streaming Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards scheme that aligns incremental reasoning and response timing with the requirements of streaming interaction. Experiments on multiple streaming video benchmarks show that ThinkStream significantly outperforms existing online video models while maintaining low latency and memory usage. Code, models and data will be released at https://github.com/johncaged/ThinkStream

Considering the bimodal nature of human speech perception, lips, and teeth movement has a pivotal role in automatic speech recognition. Benefiting from the correlated and noise-invariant visual information, audio-visual recognition systems enhance robustness in multiple scenarios. In previous work, audio-visual HuBERT appears to be the finest practice incorporating modality knowledge. This paper outlines a mixed methodology, named conformer enhanced AV-HuBERT, boosting the AV-HuBERT system's performance a step further. Compared with baseline AV-HuBERT, our method in the one-phase evaluation of clean and noisy conditions achieves 7% and 16% relative WER reduction on the English AVSR benchmark dataset LRS3. Furthermore, we establish a novel 1000h Mandarin AVSR dataset CSTS. On top of the baseline AV-HuBERT, we exceed the WeNet ASR system by 14% and 18% relatively on MISP and CMLR by pre-training with this dataset. The conformer-enhanced AV-HuBERT we proposed brings 7% on MISP and 6% CER reduction on CMLR, compared with the baseline AV-HuBERT system.

Research on diffusion model-based video generation has advanced rapidly. However, limitations in object fidelity and generation length hinder its practical applications. Additionally, specific domains like animated wallpapers require seamless looping, where the first and last frames of the video match seamlessly. To address these challenges, this paper proposes LoopAnimate, a novel method for generating videos with consistent start and end frames. To enhance object fidelity, we introduce a framework that decouples multi-level image appearance and textual semantic information. Building upon an image-to-image diffusion model, our approach incorporates both pixel-level and feature-level information from the input image, injecting image appearance and textual semantic embeddings at different positions of the diffusion model. Existing UNet-based video generation models require to input the entire videos during training to encode temporal and positional information at once. However, due to limitations in GPU memory, the number of frames is typically restricted to 16. To address this, this paper proposes a three-stage training strategy with progressively increasing frame numbers and reducing fine-tuning modules. Additionally, we introduce the Temporal E nhanced Motion Module(TEMM) to extend the capacity for encoding temporal and positional information up to 36 frames. The proposed LoopAnimate, which for the first time extends the single-pass generation length of UNet-based video generation models to 35 frames while maintaining high-quality video generation. Experiments demonstrate that LoopAnimate achieves state-of-the-art performance in both objective metrics, such as fidelity and temporal consistency, and subjective evaluation results.
