arXiv:2512. 20963v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Diffusion models excel at generating high-quality, diverse samples, yet they risk memorizing training data when overfit to the training objective.
The paper introduces LLMAE, a technique that transforms a pretrained decoder-only language model into a continuous text autoencoder by inserting a fixed-length latent bottleneck into its internal activations. Using a 270M Gemma 3 model with structured attention masks, LoRA adaptation, and KL regularization, LLMAE achieves near-perfect reconstruction of text sequences up to 1024 tokens. The authors further show that the resulting latent representation can be leveraged to train a latent text diffusion model for detailed image captioning, demonstrating downstream utility.
