Meet DiffusionGemma!
An experimental open model that explores a fast approach to text generation, released under an Apache 2.0 license.
Moving beyond sequential, token-by-token processes to generate entire blocks of text simultaneously. Here’s what’s new with DiffusionGemma: 👇

🚨 🧵 New paper: Finite-particle rates for drifting models.
Drifting trains 1-step generators by moving model μ toward data ν with a conservative or non-conservative velocity field. Consider data on x-axis, model on the y-axis. These 2 fields yield 2 different motions. 1/7

Your drifting model is secretly a fixed point for the Wasserstein gradient flow on...
...the KL?
...an approximation to the Sinkhorn?
...Is it even a Wasserstein gradient flow at all?

Excited to share our ICML 2026 Hypothesis Testing Workshop in Seoul, this July! @icmlconf
🎉This workshop aims to bring together researchers developing modern hypothesis testing methodology and applying it to machine learning problems such as robustness, distribution shift, security, medicine, and LLM evaluation. In other words, if you care about how we make ML claims rigorous, this workshop is for you.
We now have four confirmed speakers:
Arthur Gretton @ArthurGretton,
Yao Xie @yaoxie21851119,
Bo Li @uiuc_aisecure, and
Yisong Yue @yisongyue.
The organizing team includes Xiuyuan Cheng (Duke), Feng Liu @AlexFengLiu1, Lester Mackey @LesterMackey, Shayak Sen @shayaksen, Danica J. Sutherland
@d_j_sutherland, and Nathaniel Xu (UBC).
📌 Submission deadline: 10 May 2026
📌 Notification: 26 May 2026
📌 Camera-ready: 17 June 2026
📌 Workshop date: July 10 or 11, 2026 (TBA)
🚩Check more information below!

We released "The Newton--Muon Optimizer" . We show that Muon is secretly an implicit Newton method, and use this insight to build a better one. 1/n
