The development of large language models (LLMs) is entering a pivotal phase with the emergence of diffusion-based architectures. These models, spearheaded by Inception Labs through its new Mercury ...

ELYZA, an AI development company established by the Matsuo Laboratory at the University of Tokyo, released a Japanese-specific diffusion language model, ' ELYZA-LLM-Diffusion,' on January 16, 2026.

Inception, a new Palo Alto-based company started by Stanford computer science professor Stefano Ermon, claims to have developed a novel AI model based on “diffusion” technology. Inception calls it a ...

As generative artificial intelligence continues to influence how software is designed, built, and deployed, engineers and data professionals are increasingly expected to work directly with large ...

A team of AI researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, working with a colleague from Meta AI, has introduced d1, a diffusion-large-language-model-based framework that has been improved ...

With so much money flooding into AI startups, it’s a good time to be an AI researcher with an idea to test out. And if the idea is novel enough, it might be easier to get the resources you need as an ...

Ars Technica has been separating the signal from the noise for over 25 years. With our unique combination of technical savvy and wide-ranging interest in the technological arts and sciences, Ars is ...

A few years ago, a new kind of AI called a diffusion model appeared. Today, it powers tools like Stable Diffusion and Runway Gen-2, turning text prompts into high-quality images and even short videos.
