Introduction

Block Diffusion Language Models (BD-LMs) improve diffusion-based text generation with KV caching and flexible-length generation. MBD-LMs extend them from Single-Block Diffusion (SingleBD) to Multi-Block Diffusion (MultiBD), where a running-set of consecutive blocks is decoded concurrently for inter-block parallelism.

This model is post-trained using Multi-block Teacher Forcing (MultiTF), which integrates teacher forcing and diffusion forcing by training on bounded noise-groups conditioned on clean prefixes, with randomized noise-schedulers that better match MultiBD inference states.
