MDM-Prime-v2-C4

MDM-Prime-v2 is an enhanced version of the MDM-Prime framework. MDM-Prime is a discrete diffusion model enhanced with the Partial masking scheme (Prime). It enables fine-grained denoising and improves generation quality across both image and text domains.

This repository contains the models presented in the paper:

—MDM-Prime-v2: Binary Encoding and Index Shuffling Enable Scaling of Diffusion Language Models

Model Details

—Dataset: C4 (English)
—Model Size: 14M - 3.4B
—Context Length: 2,048

How to Use

To download the weights, one can download the huggingface_hub library via pip install -U huggingface_hub and perform the following python code:

python

from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download

path = hf_hub_download(
    repo_id="chen-hao-chao/mdm-prime-v2-c4",
    filename="${checkpoint_name}"
)

Replace ${checkpoint_name} with ${model}/${setup} (e.g., prime/prime_param_3426M_iter_14000). This repository is organized as follows:
