Researchers introduce Lychee-FD, a native end-to-end full-duplex Spoken Language Model (SLM) framework that addresses modality interference between acoustic and semantic processing. The paper identifies gradient conflicts arising from shared deep parameter spaces as the root cause of performance degradation in full-duplex SLMs, and proposes a hierarchical parameter separation strategy with a dedicated semantic alignment channel. Experiments show +7.4% improvement on Spoken QA and +28.5% on FullDuplexBench 1.5 without inference efficiency loss.
