Most large language models today generate text one token at a time.
That design choice creates a hard limit on speed, cost, and scalability.
In this episode of Eye on AI, Stefano Ermon breaks down diffusion language models and why a parallel, inference-first approach could define the next generation of LLMs.
We explore how diffusion models differ from autoregressive systems, why inference efficiency matters more than training scale, and what this shift means for real-time AI applications like code generation, agents, and voice systems.
This conversation goes deep into AI architecture, model controllability, latency, cost trade-offs, and the future of generative intelligence as AI moves from demos to production-scale systems.

本文深入探讨了扩散语言模型(Diffusion Language Models)作为自回归语言模型(如ChatGPT、Gemini、Claude)的潜在替代方案。扩散模型采用一次性生成整个答案的并行方式,相比传统逐词生成的自回归模型,在速度、成本和可控性方面展现出显著优势,尤其在对延迟敏感的应用场景中表现突出。
总结:扩散语言模型代表了一种有潜力颠覆现有自回归范式的新兴技术路径。其核心优势在于并行性带来的速度与成本效益,以及生成过程中更强的可控性。虽然目前在绝对质量上可能略逊于顶尖自回归模型,但在特定延迟约束下已具备竞争力,并在代码生成等场景中展现出卓越性能。随着技术成熟,扩散模型有望在效率至关重要的应用领域率先普及,并可能最终成为多模态通用人工智能的底层支柱。
