AURORA‑LM: Continuous‑Latent Diffusion Language Model on Ascend NPU

Researchers from Nanjing University’s PRLab present AURORA‑LM, a continuous‑latent diffusion language model trained on Ascend NPU up to 1 B parameters, detailing its two‑stage architecture, high‑capacity latent design, self‑trajectory consistency loss, and experimental gains over autoregressive and discrete diffusion baselines.
