I'm personally happy to see effort in this space simply because I think it's an interesting set of tradeoffs (compute ∝ accuracy) - a departure from the fixed next token compute budget required now.
It brings up interesting questions, like what's the equivalency between smaller diffusion models which consume more compute because they have a greater number of diffusion steps compared to larger traditional LLMs which essentially have a single step. How effective is decoupling the context window size to the diffusion window size? Is there an optimum ratio?
- machiaweliczny 2y agoI actually think that diffusion LLMs will be best for code generation
- genewitch 2y agoWas it on Hacker News a few days ago? There was a diffusion language model that was actually running, but I think it was a paid service. I don't know if anybody mentioned that there was a open source one or one that you could run locally.
