Latent diffusion models achieve strong generative performance by operating in a compressed latent space produced by a variational autoencoder (VAE). However, it remains unclear whether all latent channels contribute equally to the diffusion process, or whether significant redundancy exists.
arXiv:2606. 06888v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Classical scaling laws for language model pretraining balance model size against training dataset size under a fixed compute budget, assuming abundant data and a single pass over the corpus.

arXiv:2511. 21338v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Masked Diffusion Language Models (MDLMs) have recently emerged as a promising alternative to Autoregressive Language Models (ARLMs), leveraging a denoising objective that, in principle, should enable more uniform context utilisation.

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:2310. 05264v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In this work, we investigate an intriguing and prevalent phenomenon of diffusion models which we term as "consistent model reproducibility": given the same starting noise input and a deterministic sampler, different diffusion models often yield remarkably similar outputs.
