Its claimed speed advantage over regular LLMs might only matter for niche cases like high-frequency trading, and — crucially — its benchmarks compare against standard autoregressive LLMs rather than diffusion LLMs, where the advantage likely disappears. A pointed critique of selective benchmarking in diffusion-LLM startup marketing.
