LAW: a language model built purely on self-conditioning takes contrarian diffusion-LM stance
caglarml · x · 2026-10-25
While most diffusion LM work tries to remove self-conditioning, the LAW ("Loopholing All the Way") paper asks the contrarian question: what if self-conditioning is all you need? The authors show a language model based purely on self-conditioning is viable. Sedielem flags the interesting contrarian take and links it to a recent data-space iteration paper.
