LALMs struggle to remember non-speech sounds across multi-turn conversations not because of faulty attention, but because their internal representations of those sounds drift over time.

LALMs get a noise-canceling superpower with Focus-Then-Listen, a plug-and-play module that boosts performance without expensive retraining.

Environmental sound deepfakes are a rising threat, and this challenge reveals the current state-of-the-art in detecting them, highlighting both the progress and remaining gaps.

LALMs struggle with polyphonic audio, losing significant performance on tasks requiring reasoning about concurrent sound events, as revealed by the new PolyBench benchmark.
