Researchers have developed CRESiST, a novel framework for simultaneous speech translation that addresses latency and quality issues inherent in current LLM-based systems. This end-to-end architecture utilizes an omni-modal LLM and an interleaved read-write approach to enable full KV cache reuse and support infinite-length inference without relying on external Voice Activity Detection. The system incorporates an Actor-Critic pipeline for learning optimal streaming policies, with an RNN-T Actor and an LLM Critic that use semantic and latency rewards to distill optimal policies. Experiments on various benchmarks show CRESiST establishing new state-of-the-art quality-latency Pareto frontiers. AI
