Targeted Remasking: Replacing Token Editing with Token-to-Mask Refinement in Discrete Diffusion Language Models

arXiv:2605. 26436v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Discrete masked diffusion language models such as LLaDA generate text through iterative denoising, where mask tokens are progressively replaced with predicted tokens.

Beyond Block Boundaries: Multi-Block Editing for Diffusion Large Language Models

arXiv:2607. 22663v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Block diffusion has emerged as the dominant paradigm for scaling discrete diffusion language models (dLLMs), because decoding text in fixed-size blocks preserves parallel generation within each block while keeping the quadratic attention cost tractable.
