Diffusion + Coding = DiffuCode. How Apple Released a Weirdly Interesting Coding Language Model
"Apple quietly dropped a new AI model on Hugging Face with an interesting twist," writes 9to5Mac. "Instead of writing code like traditional LLMs generate text (left to right, top to bottom), it can also write out of order, and improve multiple chunks at once." "The result is faster code generatio...
Lately, some large language models have looked to the diffusion architecture to generate text, and the results have been pretty promising... "Although DiffuCoder did better than many diffusion-based coding models (and that was before the 4.4% bump from DiffuCoder-7B-cpGRPO), it still doesn't quite reach the level of GPT-4 or Gemini Diffusion..." the article points out. But "the bigger point is this: little by little, Apple has been laying the groundwork for its generative AI efforts with some pretty interesting and novel ideas."
