Simplex Diffusion Models proposed to fix information collapse in discrete diffusion

msalbergo · x · 2026-09-30

A thread introduces Simplex Diffusion Models, arguing that standard discrete diffusion models suffer from "information collapse" because they discard uncertainty at intermediate steps by sampling categorical tokens. The proposed simplex-based approach aims to address this; full technical details are in the original thread.
