FS-DFM: Fast and Accurate Long Text Generation with Few-Step Diffusion Language Models

Autoregressive language models (ARMs) deliver strong likelihoods, but are inherently serial: they generate one token per forward pass, which limits throughput and inflates latency for long sequences. Diffusion Language Models (DLMs) parallelize across positions and thus appear promising for language generation, yet standard discrete diffusion typically needs hundreds to thousands of model evaluations to reach high quality, trading serial depth for iterative breadth. We introduce FS-DFM, Few-Step Discrete Flow-Matching. A discrete flow-matching model designed for speed without sacrificing…

Scaling Categorical Flow Maps

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…

STARFlow2: Bridging Language Models and Normalizing Flows for Unified Multimodal Generation

Unified multimodal models that understand, reason over, and generate interleaved text–image sequences remain structurally fragmented: existing approaches either sacrifice visual fidelity through discrete tokenization, impose structural asymmetry by combining causal text generation with iterative diffusion-based denoising, or degrade pretrained understanding when adapting vision-language models for generation. We observe that autoregressive…

Continuously Augmented Discrete Diffusion model for Categorical Generative Modeling

Standard discrete diffusion models treat all unobserved states identically by mapping them to an absorbing [MASK] token. This creates an ‘information void’ where semantic information that could be inferred from unmasked tokens is lost between denoising steps. We introduce Continuously Augmented Discrete Diffusion (CADD), a framework that augments the discrete…
