One Framework to Rule All AI Models
Work on overlapping block denoising aims to make diffusion language models more efficient.

🔥 What happened
Bo Dai and Yilun Du published an arXiv tutorial arguing that nearly every ML method — GANs, diffusion, BERT, reinforcement learning — is just an Energy-Based Model with different choices.
💡 Why it matters
Every EBM boils down to three knobs: energy, inference, learning. Swap one and you get a new algorithm. That's not just taxonomy — it's a recipe book for composing models at inference time.
⚡ Our take
Elegant unification, but the partition function is still the elephant in the room. Whoever cracks tractable sampling at scale owns the next architecture wave.
