DiffusionGemma: 4x Faster Text Generation★ 76
Hacker News (AI keywords)·4 days ago·Release
Google released DiffusionGemma, a 26B MoE experimental open model using text diffusion instead of token-by-token autoregressive decoding. It can generate blocks of text in parallel, reaching up to 4x faster output on dedicated GPUs. The model targets local, speed-sensitive workflows, but Google says its output quality is below standard Gemma 4 and recommends Gemma 4 for quality-critical production use.
