abstract
Audio-driven avatar interaction demands real-time, streaming, and infinite-length generation -- capabilities fundamentally at odds with the sequential denoising and long-horizon drift of current diffusion models. We present Live Avatar, an algorithm-system co-designed framework that addresses both challenges for a 14-billion-parameter diffusion model. On the algorithm side, a two-stage pipeline distills a pretrained bidirectional model into a causal, few-step streaming one, while a set of complementary long-horizon strategies eliminate identity drift and visual artifacts, enabling stable autoregressive generation exceeding 10000 seconds. On the system side, Timestep-forcing Pipeline Parallelism (TPP) assigns each GPU a fixed denoising timestep, converting the sequential diffusion chain into an asynchronous spatial pipeline that simultaneously boosts throughput and improves temporal consistency. Live Avatar achieves 45 FPS with a TTFF of 1.21\,s on 5 H800 GPUs, and to our knowledge is the first to enable practical real-time streaming of a 14B diffusion model for infinite-length avatar generation. We further introduce GenBench, a standardized long-form benchmark, to facilitate reproducible evaluation. Our project page is at https://liveavatar.github.io/.
