DiffusionGemma: 4x faster text generation blog.google
AI Weekly's analysis
  • DiffusionGemma generates 256 tokens per forward pass using bidirectional attention, reaching 1,000+ tokens/sec on a single H100 GPU.
  • With only 3.8B active parameters during inference and an 18GB VRAM footprint when quantized, it runs on consumer hardware without server-grade resources.
  • Google recommends DiffusionGemma only for speed-critical workloads like in-line editing and code infilling, not for applications requiring maximum quality.

something we don’t talk about: even in AI, “artificial” intelligence — even that is not intelligent design we don’t “design” AI. we merely create a rich environment of data + compute and let the intelligence emerge spontaneously i wish philosophers/theologians would weigh in on that

imo AI is closer to a raw material than a finished product, and most criticism just boils down to that the people getting most out of AI are builders who see potential

Opus and GPT-5.5 are both below 2T, DeepSeek can catch up to both, Fable will keep increasing the gap

people are framing Fablegate as an “AI pause”, but i don’t think any development is stopping or slowing
