Aero Realtime: Duplex multimodal model achieves low-latency streaming

Researchers have developed Aero Realtime, a 4-billion parameter multimodal model designed for low-latency, continuous interaction. Unlike previous models that operate in a turn-based manner, Aero Realtime features a duplex architecture that aligns video, audio, and text on a shared temporal grid. This allows new observations to enter the generation stream in real-time, enabling a more natural and responsive user experience. The model achieves processing lags within 200ms of the source timeline, demonstrating the potential for truly interactive multimodal AI. AI

IMPACT Enables more natural, real-time multimodal interactions by allowing continuous input and output streams.

    Aero Realtime: Fully Aligned Input-Output Streams for Low-Latency Streaming Multimodal Generation

    arXiv:2608.08469v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Existing streaming multimodal models process observations incrementally but still follow a turn-based prefill-then-decode pattern, making them non-duplex: new observations cannot naturally enter an active generation stream. Proactiv…
