Google DeepMind's DiffusionGemma Technical Report They feel text diffusion models open up a radically different part of the latency–quality Pareto frontier and hope the report makes it easier for researchers and engineers to understand the model, build on it, and create things we haven’t thought of

We figured out flow matching over states that change dimension. With "Branching Flows", the model decides how big things must be! This works wherever flow matching works, with discrete, continuous, and manifold states. We think this will unlock some genuinely new capabilities.

Better diffusions with scoring rules! Fewer, larger denoising steps using distributional losses; learn the posterior distribution of clean samples given the noisy versions. arxiv.org/pdf/2502.02483 @vdebortoli.bsky.social Galashov Guntupalli Zhou @sirbayes.bsky.social @arnauddoucet.bsky.social

A standard ML approach for parameter estimation in latent variable models is to maximize the expectation of the logarithm of an importance sampling estimate of the intractable likelihood. We provide consistency/efficiency results for the resulting estimate: arxiv.org/abs/2501.08477

Speculative sampling accelerates inference in LLMs by drafting future tokens which are verified in parallel. With @vdebortoli.bsky.social , A. Galashov & @arthurgretton.bsky.social , we extend this approach to (continuous-space) diffusion models: arxiv.org/abs/2501.05370
