# RADD Small (lambda-dce)

This repository contains the small model checkpoint for **RADD (Reparameterized Absorbing Discrete Diffusion)**, trained with the $\lambda$-DCE loss for 400k iterations. 

RADD is a discrete diffusion model designed for language modeling that characterizes time-independent conditional probabilities. This approach allows for sampling acceleration via caching strategies and unifies absorbing discrete diffusion with any-order autoregressive models (AO-ARMs).

## Usage

To use this model, you need to use the loading utility provided in the [official repository](https://github.com/ML-GSAI/RADD):

```python
from load_model import load_model

# Load the model and noise schedule
model, noise = load_model('JingyangOu/radd-lambda-dce', device='cuda') 
```

For more details on sampling (e.g., using the `DiffusionSampler` or `OrderedSampler`), please refer to the scripts in the GitHub repository.
