-## 🔬 Technical Details
-### Masked Diffusion Process
-Dhara uses a novel **Masked Diffusion** approach instead of traditional autoregressive generation:
-1. **Training**: Randomly mask tokens with `[MASK]` based on diffusion timestep
-2. **Loss**: Compute cross-entropy only on masked positions with importance weighting
-3. **Inference**: Iteratively unmask tokens based on model confidence
-### Key Differences from Standard LLMs
-| Aspect | Autoregressive | Dhara (MDM) |
-|--------|---------------|-------------|
-| **Training Objective** | Next-token prediction | Masked token reconstruction |
-| **Attention** | Causal (left-to-right) | Bidirectional (all positions) |
-| **Generation** | Sequential | Parallel (configurable steps) |
-| **Context** | Left context only | Full bidirectional context |
-| **Speed** | Fixed (1 token/step) | Variable (multiple tokens/step) |
-### Generation Strategies
-Dhara supports multiple generation strategies:
-- **MDM Parallel**: Update all masked tokens simultaneously (fastest)
-- **Confidence-based**: Update most confident tokens first (highest quality)
-- **Hybrid**: Combine parallel and confidence-based approaches
-### Performance Optimizations
-- **Flash Attention 2**: 2-4x speedup on modern GPUs
-- **Gradient Checkpointing**: Reduce memory usage for large models
-- **Mixed Precision**: BF16/FP16 training support
-- **8-bit Optimizers**: Reduce optimizer memory usage
-- **Torch Compile**: JIT compilation for inference speedup

+### Batch Generation (High Throughput)
 ```python
+# For batch generation, use larger batch sizes
+prompts = [
+    "The future of artificial intelligence is",
+    "The human brain is capable of",
+    "Science has shown that",
+    "Technology continues to evolve"
+]
+inputs = tokenizer(prompts, return_tensors="pt", padding=True).to(device)

+    inputs.input_ids,
+    attention_mask=inputs.attention_mask,
+    max_new_tokens=50,
+    temperature=0.1,
+    top_p=0.5,
+    top_k=5,
+    repetition_penalty=1.8,
+    do_sample=True,
+    pad_token_id=0
 )
+for i, output in enumerate(outputs):
+    print(f"Output {i+1}: {tokenizer.decode(output, skip_special_tokens=True)}")
 ```
+## Key Insights
+1. **Throughput vs Accuracy Trade-off**: Dhara trades 1.33% average accuracy for 3.8x higher throughput, making it ideal for batch processing tasks.
+2. **Superior Factuality**: Dhara excels on TruthfulQA (+1.67% vs GPT-2), suggesting diffusion models may reduce hallucinations through bidirectional context.
+3. **Reasoning Advantage**: ARC-Challenge +2.56% indicates strong performance on reasoning tasks.
+4. **WSD Efficiency**: Converting an AR model to diffusion via WSD uses 10x fewer tokens than training from scratch with equivalent quality.
+5. **Canon Layers Help**: The depthwise causal convolutions (Canon layers) improve factuality and reasoning with only 0.13% parameter overhead.
+## When to Use Dhara
+**Choose Dhara when:**
+- Batch generation throughput matters
+- Factual accuracy is critical
+- You have an existing AR checkpoint to convert
+**Choose AR models when:**
+- Interactive latency is critical
+- Sequential reasoning is important (math, coding)
+- Memory is constrained
+## Limitations
+- Lower performance on sequential reasoning tasks (GSM8K: 0.00%)
+- Higher memory usage due to bidirectional attention
+- Slightly higher time-to-first-token latency
+- Best suited for batch rather than interactive use cases
