Ex-Omni-2D: Expressive Omni-Modal Dialogue Models with Native Visual Presence
Abstract
Ex-Omni-2D is an omni-modal dialogue framework that produces coordinated text, speech, and video responses via a visual thought plan and a distilled streaming video generator.
Omni-modal dialogue models can understand multimodal inputs and synthesize spoken replies, yet their responses remain visually disembodied. We introduce Ex-Omni-2D, an omni-modal dialogue framework that generates a coordinated response comprising text, personalized speech, and reference-conditioned video. Given a multimodal query, reference image, and reference audio, the model predicts a structured Visual Thought Plan (VTP) describing scene, emotion, and motion, followed by response text and native multi-codebook speech units. These units form a shared acoustic-temporal interface: they are decoded into speech and aligned online with video frames. This interface enables the response and avatar pathways to be learned from heterogeneous speech, dialogue, and avatar-video data, avoiding the need for large-scale query--text--speech--video supervision. A full-sequence Video Generator serves as the primary Teacher. For efficient incremental generation, we further distill it into a few-step block-causal Streaming Student whose Prefix Streaming mechanism carries a clean latent across consecutive chunks to reduce cumulative late-chunk degradation. With four-step inference, the complete four-GPU pipeline achieves an end-to-end RTF of 1.293 at 400times720/720times400, providing a practical quality--efficiency operating point.
Community
What if an omni-modal dialogue model could not only listen and speak, but also appear? Ex-Omni-2D generates coordinated text, personalized speech, and expressive avatar video within a unified dialogue framework. We would love to hear your thoughts on visual presence, streaming generation, and the future of embodied dialogue systems.
