LaDiR: Latent Diffusion Enhances LLMs for Text Reasoning
Paper • 2510.04573 • Published • 2
LaDiR (Latent Diffusion Reasoner) lets an LLM reason in a continuous latent space: a VAE compresses a reasoning chain into 64 latent tokens, the LLM generates this latent block with flow matching, then decodes the answer conditioned on it. This checkpoint is built on Qwen3-8B-Base for code generation.
