DiffusionGemma

### TL;DR

DiffusionGemma is an experimental open model developed by Google that utilizes text diffusion techniques to generate entire blocks of text simultaneously, achieving up to four times faster text generation on dedicated GPUs compared to traditional autoregressive models. Released under an Apache 2.0 license, this 26-billion parameter Mixture of Experts (MoE) model is designed for researchers and developers working on speed-critical, interactive local workflows such as in-line editing, rapid iteration, and generating non-linear text structures.
