FireRedAudio: A General-Purpose Audio Language Model with Decoupled Continuous Representations for Understanding and Generation
A unified audio model must recognize and understand linguistic, paralinguistic, and environmental information while supporting speech synthesis and editing. A key challenge is representation: understanding favors compact features suited to long-context modeling, whereas speech generation requires reconstructible features that preserve fine-grained acoustic detail. We introduce FireRedAudio, a general-purpose audio language model with a shared 9B-parameter LLM. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first publicly disclosed unified audio-language model to provide separate continuous input repr
