Users in the replies praise the updated ICML 2026 paper on Inverse-Distilled Diffusion Language Models as very cool and congratulate the researchers.

馃М TinyGSM/GSM8K results
Before, we mainly tested unconditional generation: does the model write good text fast?
Now we also ask: can it reason through math problems?
So we added TinyGSM/GSM8K conditional generation, using the S-FLM eval setup/codebase from @jdeschena.

馃敆Blog + paper + code + checkpoints:

We updated and released all the materials needed to explore and reproduce IDLM.

鈿栵笍 More baselines + metrics
We expanded the evaluation with recent baselines: ELF(@HuLillian39250, @linluqiu), D-MMD (@emiel_hoogeboom), FLM/FMLM (@chandavidlee , @jw9730) and more. We also added MAUVE and GM metrics.

I鈥檓 additionally tagging a few people who might be interested in the new results and materials:

馃搲 GenPPL鈥揺ntropy frontier.
Motivated by @Sam_Acqua鈥檚 recent observation that GenPPL can trade off with entropy under temperature sweeps, we add a GenPPL鈥揺ntropy plot. Notably, ELF performs very well on this frontier even without using a distillation technique.

馃摑 New IDLM blog post
We鈥檙e also excited to share a new IDLM blog post with intuition behind the method. How IDLM turns many-step DLMs into few-step generators.

@LiDavid2002 @HuLillian39250 @linluqiu @chandavidlee @jw9730 Super cool

@LiDavid2002 @ssahoo_ @dvruette @AndrewC_ML @ValentinDeBort1 @ArnaudDoucet1 @WeiGuo01 Very cool stuff congrats David!
