ArXi:2605.26641v1 Announce Type: new Unified multimodal embedding spaces have become the standard interface for cross-modal retrieval and multimodal RAG, and recent audio-video-text (AVT) encoders extend this setting to three modalities. Such encoders can produce a joint (T,V,A) embedding whenever all three modalities are available, but standard pairwise InfoNCE objectives leave this signal unused during
