ByteDance Teams with He Kaiming to Open‑Source the Continuous Diffusion Language Model Cola DLM

The article analyzes ByteDance's Cola DLM, a fully open‑source continuous diffusion language model that abandons token‑centric generation in favor of latent semantic representations, detailing its architecture, training strategy, scaling stability, and how it compares with the earlier ELF model.

LangFlow Demonstrates Continuous Diffusion Matching Discrete Models via Better Training

LangFlow revisits continuous diffusion for language modeling, showing that earlier performance gaps were due to suboptimal training and evaluation, and through embedding‑space diffusion, a log‑NSR noise schedule, and a Gumbel‑based information schedule it matches or exceeds discrete diffusion and autoregressive baselines on standard and zero‑shot benchmarks.
