DreamReasoner-8B: Block-Size Curriculum Learning for Diffusion Reasoning Models

Zirui Wu, Lin Zheng, Jiacheng Ye +5

Block diffusion language models accelerate decoding through parallel block-wise denoising, yet whether they can be reliably scaled for long chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning remains…

Scratchpad Patching: Decoupling Compute from Patch Size in Byte-Level Language Models

Lin Zheng, Vasilisa Bashlovkina, Timothy Dozat +3

Tokenizer-free language models eliminate the tokenizer step of the language modeling pipeline by operating directly on bytes; patch-based variants further aggregate contiguous byte…

Proxy Compression for Language Modeling

Lin Zheng, Xinyu Li, Qian Liu +2

Modern language models are trained almost exclusively on token sequences produced by a fixed tokenizer, an external lossless compressor often over UTF-8 byte sequences, thereby cou…

DreamOn: Diffusion Language Models For Code Infilling Beyond Fixed-size Canvas

Zirui Wu, Lin Zheng, Zhihui Xie +8

Diffusion Language Models (DLMs) present a compelling alternative to autoregressive models, offering flexible, any-order infilling without specialized prompting design. However, th…

Dream 7B: Diffusion Large Language Models

Jiacheng Ye, Zhihui Xie, Lin Zheng +5

We introduce Dream 7B, the most powerful open diffusion large language model to date. Unlike autoregressive (AR) models that generate tokens sequentially, Dream 7B employs discrete…

Scaling Diffusion Language Models via Adaptation from Autoregressive Models

Shansan Gong, Shivam Agarwal, Yizhe Zhang +9

Diffusion Language Models (DLMs) have emerged as a promising new paradigm for text generative modeling, potentially addressing limitations of autoregressive (AR) models. However, c…

Attentive Multi-Layer Perceptron for Non-autoregressive Generation

Shuyang Jiang, Jun Zhang, Jiangtao Feng +2

Autoregressive~(AR) generation almost dominates sequence generation for its efficacy. Recently, non-autoregressive~(NAR) generation gains increasing popularity for its efficiency a…
