Instructions to use diffusion-reasoning/gdsd_countdown_llada with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use diffusion-reasoning/gdsd_countdown_llada with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="diffusion-reasoning/gdsd_countdown_llada", trust_remote_code=True)
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoModel
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("diffusion-reasoning/gdsd_countdown_llada", trust_remote_code=True, dtype="auto")

GDSD: Reinforcement Learning as Guided Denoiser Self-Distillation for Diffusion Language Models

This repository contains the model weights for GDSD, as presented in the paper GDSD: Reinforcement Learning as Guided Denoiser Self-Distillation for Diffusion Language Models.

Guided Denoiser Self-Distillation (GDSD) is a reinforcement learning (RL) framework tailored for diffusion large language models (dLLMs). It improves performance by directly distilling the denoiser from an advantage-guided self-teacher, bypassing the biases typically found in evidence lower bound (ELBO) based likelihood surrogates.
