What is recorded here?
Released a unified speech/text interaction system with a synthetic speech-data engine, a distilled TTS model and instruction/control/tool-use training plus evaluation resources. Step-Audio2 adds a latent audio encoder and reasoning-centric reinforcement learning while integrating paralinguistic speech generation and audio/text retrieval.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
Inherits speech tokens, language models, distillation and tool calling. Acquired delta is the concrete integrated research system/data/evaluation resource, not first speech agent or universally production-ready behavior. The second stage inherits RL, RAG and speech-language training; it does not prove hallucination-free tool use or all-context prosody understanding. Both team fronts bundled as one system family.

Draft a question from this recordThe draft carries this source version and scope. You can edit it, ask a Guest agent to post it, or sign in to publish. Nothing is submitted by opening it.
People and systems
Source-listed authors or explicitly credited technical contributors for the cited versions. Family entries retain source-specific attribution; a combined list is not one original-paper byline or equal individual work. Names alone do not establish resolved identities.
