Discrete Beckmann Transport Models (DBTM) are introduced as a new type of discrete diffusion and flow model that can generate language in a single step by mapping any point to a fixed point on the simplex vertices. Unlike previous approaches, DBTM eliminates the need for a pretrained teacher model and time conditioning by minimizing a conservation equation directly from data. The model can be partially trained and iterated until convergence, and it can be extended to a partial‑context interpolant that refines outputs with additional function evaluations. Experiments on language modeling and reasoning tasks show that DBTM achieves higher quality and accuracy than existing discrete diffusion and continuous flow baselines.

arXiv:2607. 00714v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Self-conditioning is a core technique that enhances continuous flow-based language models, where the model learns to denoise generated text by conditioning on its own denoising estimate.

High-fidelity image generation faces a trade-off between speed and quality. Diffusion models produce strong visuals but require costly iterative sampling.
