Everyone knows diffusion models generate images. Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, Sora. What most people don’t realize: diffusion is now coming for text, code, time series and enterprise workloads.
Killer breakdown of diffusion's trajectory. The parallel refinement angle is what makes this architecture legit for production, but I dunno if we're giving enough weight to the KV-cache tradeoff. Autoregressive models cache previos context, diffusion recomputes every step, which might offset the latency gains on longer sequences. Curious how hybrid aproaches will split that inference budget.
