NVIDIA unveils Audex, a unified audio-text LLM that preserves text intelligence

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

NVIDIA has introduced Audex (Nemotron-Labs-Audex-30B-A3B), a unified audio-text large language model capable of understanding and generating both audio and speech. Unlike many multimodal models that experience a decline in text performance, Audex is designed to maintain the text intelligence of its Nemotron-Cascade-2-30B-A3B backbone. The model achieves this through a multi-stage training process and text-only reinforcement learning, resulting in competitive text benchmark scores and strong audio capabilities, including general audio generation beyond just speech. AI

IMPACT Sets a new standard for unified audio-text models by preserving text intelligence, potentially influencing future multimodal LLM development.
