LangFlow

LangFlow is a continuous diffusion language model that operates in embedding space. Unlike discrete diffusion models (MDLM, SEDD, DUO), LangFlow performs diffusion directly on continuous token embeddings, enabling smoother denoising dynamics.

For more details, please see our paper: LangFlow: Continuous Diffusion Rivals Discrete in Language Modeling.

Using LangFlow

To use the pre-trained model for text generation, use the following snippet:

from transformers import AutoModelForMaskedLM, AutoTokenizer

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('gpt2')
model = AutoModelForMaskedLM.from_pretrained('chumengl/langflow-owt', trust_remote_code=True)

# Generate samples
samples = model.generate_samples(num_samples=5, num_steps=128)
texts = tokenizer.batch_decode(samples, skip_special_tokens=True)
for text in texts:
    print(text)

Model Details

Architecture: DiT (Diffusion Transformer) backbone with adaptive layer normalization
Context Length: 1024 tokens
Parameters: ~130M non-embedding parameters (similar to GPT-2 medium)
Training: 1M steps on OpenWebText corpus
Tokenizer: GPT-2 tokenizer (50,257 vocab size)
