Improved Large Language Diffusion Models

Paper summary

iLLaDA scales masked-diffusion language-model training with bidirectional attention and a consistent objective through supervised fine-tuning. Variable-length generation and evaluation changes accompany improved results over the earlier diffusion model.

Relevance to the project

An alternative to autoregressive language modeling for optional model work. Useful when separating architecture effects from data scale, training stages, and evaluation changes.

Bidirectional text generation does not satisfy the engine's causal-history contract automatically.
