✓ Portable graph bundle live · download bundle · merged state

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

CDLM establishes a new state of the art on both conditional and unconditional text-generation, consistently outperforming strong base discrete diffusion models and often even multi-stage distilled baselines across sampling budgets, with the largest gains in the few-step regime.

C2weakest assumption

That the exact posterior bridge serves as the natural discrete substitute for the probability-flow ODE and that enforcing path-invariance in expectation across these bridges produces superior denoisers without introducing new failure modes.

C3one line summary

CDLM trains denoisers to be path-invariant across stochastic posterior bridges in discrete diffusion, unifying prior methods and achieving new SOTA few-step text generation performance.
