arXiv:2606. 01024v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Discrete Masked diffusion language models generate text by iterative parallel decoding, but few-step decoding suffers from a tradeoff between length and quality: with a fixed step budget, standard methods can generate a short, high-quality output, or they can produce long but repetitive text.
