Summary

HC-DLM improved structured reasoning and perplexity at matched model size.

Hierarchical Continuous Diffusion Language Models use one persistent latent trajectory while decoded tokens feed back as a scaffold. On Sudoku, Countdown and LM1B, the reported model beat discrete and continuous diffusion baselines in puzzle accuracy and generative perplexity.

Why it matters
