Alibaba has officially released Qwen-Audio-3.0-Realtime, focusing on real-time voice interaction that is both fast and smart, achieving millisecond-level responses while retaining reasoning capabilities. The official release includes Plus and Flash versions, optimized for stronger reasoning and lower latency, respectively.

The post highlights four major capability upgrades:

IQ/Reasoning: Improved performance on benchmarks like VoiceBench and AudioMultiChallenge, with minimal degradation even under conversational inputs.
Agent Tool Calling: Can autonomously trigger external tools without explicit instructions. Results feed into conversation memory and can be accessed via FunctionCall, MCP, API, and knowledge bases.
Empathetic Expression: Adjusts tone, pacing, and pitch based on context, enhancing naturalness through paralinguistic signals like laughter, sighs, and hesitations.
Duplex Interaction: Supports listening while speaking, seamless interruptions, and multi-speaker scenarios. Voice profiles can also be locked using audioprompt.

The official release attributes these capabilities to On-Policy Distillation and multi-teacher distillation: reasoning skills from text LLMs are distilled into the speech model, while different teachers are used to enhance conversational preferences, general Q&A, Agent calling, and audio understanding.
