An introduction to diffusion language models and the research advances that underlie today's diffusion LLMs. We describe the building blocks of recent open-source models, starting from simple masking diffusion, and including techniques for iterative refinement, post-training, and variable-length generation. Material is adapted from workshop talks and lectures at <a href='https://realm-gen-workshop.github.io/'>ICLR 2026</a> and <a href='https://cfe.columbia.edu/content/mlss2'>MLSS 2026</a>.

Fully discrete methods dominated for a few years, but language models based on continuous diffusion are making a comeback.

A security issue in Omarchy’s default Docker configuration meant that essentially every program running in the user’s desktop session could escalate to root without a password, sudo, or a privilege prompt. If you use Omarchy, the most important takeaway is simple: update to 4.0.1. I reported this issue privately through the project’s responsible-disclosure process. The underlying configuration has since been patched, so I’m publishing the details now to explain what the issue is and let users know to update their systems.
