New theory work proves quadratic separation between uniform/Gaussian diffusion and unmasking for parallel generation
LucaAmb · x · 2026-09-21
In new work with Liye Wang, researcher sitanch proves a quadratic separation in parallel generation capability between uniform and Gaussian discrete diffusion paradigms relative to unmasking, offering the first rigorous comparison of discrete diffusion approaches and theoretical evidence that unmasking-style models hold a structural advantage for parallel generation.
