continuous diffusion for code generation in one step

Reddit r/artificial Papers

Summary

The paper presents a method for one-step code generation by making language continuous, using diffusion models, and distilling the trajectory, with accompanying code release.

Can language models write code in one step? Yes: make language continuous, use diffusion, then distill the trajectory to one step. Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2609.04531 Code: https://github.com/pengzhangzhi/plaidq

Constrained Code Generation with Discrete Diffusion

arXiv cs.CL

This paper introduces Constrained Diffusion for Code (CDC), a training-free neurosymbolic inference framework that integrates constraint satisfaction directly into the reverse denoising process of discrete diffusion models for code generation. CDC consistently improves constraint satisfaction in functional correctness, security, and syntax across benchmarks, outperforming existing diffusion and autoregressive baselines.

LangFlow: Continuous Diffusion Rivals Discrete in Language Modeling

Hugging Face Daily Papers

LangFlow presents the first continuous diffusion language model that rivals discrete diffusion approaches, challenging the long-held belief that continuous diffusion is inferior for language modeling. The work introduces key ingredients like optimal Gumbel-based noise scheduling and demonstrates competitive perplexity and transfer learning performance compared to discrete diffusion baselines.
