Echo-N1: Affective RL Frontier
The LLM field has spent a year perfecting RL for tasks machines already excel at, math, code, and deterministic reasoning, while completely sidestepping the domain that actually defines human intelligence: subjective, emotionally grounded, personality sensitive conversation. This space has often been regarded as inherently subjective and challenging to formalize, making it appear unsuitable for conventional RL pipelines. We show that it is not only possible and it is a solvable and transformative RL problem. We propose the first framework that infers user personality on the fly and optimizes model behavior toward personalized conversational preferences. Contrary to the widespread belief that RL collapses in non-verifiable settings, our method produces consistent, robust, and dramatic improvements in humanlike interaction quality. We also introduce the first dynamic emotional intelligence evaluation suite to quantify these gains. Our model, which is introduced as Echo-N1, behaves far above its base version and outperforming the proprietary Doubao 1.5 Character. This work establishes a new frontier for RL: optimizing models for the deeply subjective, deeply human dimensions of conversation.

EchoCoT: Extracting Hidden Chain-of-Thought from Large Reasoning Models
Hidden chain-of-thought (CoT) traces, especially those from frontier proprietary large reasoning models (LRMs), are valuable model assets. Yet whether these hidden CoTs can be directly extracted from black-box models rem…
An Exploration of Task-decoupling on Two-stage Neural Post Filter for Real-time Personalized Acoustic Echo Cancellation
Deep learning based techniques have been popularly adopted in acoustic echo cancellation (AEC). Utilization of speaker representation has extended the frontier of AEC, thus attracting many researchers' interest in person…

Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of global mortality, with progress hindered by human interpretation of complex cardiac tests. Current AI vision-language models are limited to single-modality inputs and a…
Emotional intelligence in large language models is fragmented across perception, cognition, and interaction
As large language models (LLMs) are increasingly integrated into emotionally sensitive domains, the structural integrity of their emotional intelligence (EI) becomes a critical frontier for safety and alignment. Current …
