Continuous diffusion and flow matching models could represent a powerful alternative to autoregressive approaches for language modelling (LM), as they unlock a host of advantages currently reserved for continuous modalities, including accelerated sampling and tilting. Recently, several works have demonstrated the possibility of generating discrete data continuously by a simple flow matching process between a Gaussian and the one-hot encoded data distribution. They have further shown the feasibility of accelerated sampling via Categorical Flow Maps (CFMs), resulting in competitive sample…
