Block Diffusion: Interpolating Between Autoregressive and Diffusion Language Models "Block diffusion sequentially generates blocks of tokens by performing diffusion within each block and conditioning on previous blocks. By combining strength from autoregressive and diffusion models, block diffusion overcomes the limitations of both approaches by supporting variable-length, higher-quality generation and improving inference efficiency with KV caching and parallel sampling."
