arXiv:2606. 00295v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Masked diffusion models have seen great success in capturing data distributions over discrete sequences in domains such as text and proteins.
arXiv:2604. 26985v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Masked diffusion models (MDMs) generate discrete sequences by iterative denoising under an absorbing masking process.
arXiv:2512. 09106v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Diffusion (Large) Language Models (dLLMs) now match the downstream performance of their autoregressive counterparts on many tasks, while holding the promise of being more efficient during inference.
arXiv:2607. 15200v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning has proven effective for improving reasoning in large language models, but extending it to Masked Diffusion Language Models (MDLMs) remains challenging due to the intractability of the log-likelihood estimation.
arXiv:2606. 29275v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion Language Models (DLMs) are typically trained under fixed context structures, restricting denoising to predetermined token subsets.
arXiv:2607. 19686v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Masked diffusion models (MDMs) are a promising family of language generators, but achieving high-quality few-step generation remains challenging.
arXiv:2602. 18695v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Existing insertion-based masked diffusion models that generate sequences by interleaving token insertion with unmasking use fixed schedules that are not dependent on the data.
arXiv:2604. 24357v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Diffusion language models generate without a fixed left-to-right order, leaving token ordering as a central algorithmic choice.
arXiv:2601. 22450v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Masked Diffusion Language Models have recently emerged as a powerful generative paradigm, yet their generalization properties remain understudied compared to their auto-regressive counterparts.

arXiv:2602. 10314v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Masked Diffusion Models (MDMs) have emerged as a promising approach for generative modeling in discrete spaces.
arXiv:2606. 10829v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Masked diffusion language models can reduce inference steps by revealing multiple tokens per denoising iteration, but this parallelism is fragile: positions that are individually confident may be unsafe to commit together when their predictions are coupled.
arXiv:2608. 03769v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Masked diffusion language models (MDLMs) enable parallel generation and bidirectional context modeling, but their positional context differs fundamentally from that of autoregressive (AR) models.
