1. Google Releases DiffusionGemma, a Diffusion-Based Open Model for Faster Text Generation

Google. Google DeepMind introduced DiffusionGemma, an experimental open-source text generation model released under the Apache 2.0 license. The 26B Mixture of Experts model uses a diffusion approach that generates entire blocks of text at once rather than producing tokens sequentially, which Google says delivers up to 4x faster text generation on GPUs. The model is available immediately on Hugging Face for local deployment on consumer and enterprise hardware, with integration through frameworks including vLLM and Transformers and upcoming support in llama.cpp. Source
