How Diffusion Language Models Deliver 5× Faster Agent Inference Than Token‑by‑Token Generation

A joint test by Diffusion Intelligence and Acrab shows that diffusion language models can speed up edge‑side agents by about five times compared to traditional autoregressive models, thanks to parallel token generation and global‑content framing, promising faster, more flexible AI experiences on devices.

PKU Introduces Next Patch Prediction for Image Generation, Cutting Training Cost to ~0.6×

The paper proposes a Next Patch Prediction (NPP) paradigm that groups image tokens into high‑density patches, enabling autoregressive models to predict patches instead of individual tokens, which reduces training cost to about 0.6× and improves ImageNet FID scores by up to 1.0 across models ranging from 100 M to 1.4 B parameters.
