Diffusion transformer (DiT) research on image generation has converged to a single evaluation setup: class-conditional generation on ImageNet. While methods improve the FID and related metrics, it is increasingly unclear whether they reflect real progress in generative modeling.
Diffusion Language Models (DLMs) have recently achieved substantial progress in natural language generation tasks. Recent research demonstrates that adaptive token generation ordering can significantly improve performance in mathematical reasoning and code synthesis applications.

Generative models have undergone many generations of evolution, from VAEs/GANs to diffusion/flow matching. Along the way, the underlying techniques have become more complicated and various beliefs about what drives strong empirical performance have taken hold.
