Reasoning with Continuous Latent Diffusion
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.35694v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Continuous diffusion generates complete reasoning solutions through iterative refinement in latent space. We introduce the Continuous Embedding Diffusion Reasoner (CEDR), an ELF-based training and inference recipe. Our experiments show that accurate decoding alone does not ensure strong reasoning performance. We therefore learn compact representations from multiple layers of a strong autoregressive teacher. Their decomposition also enables asynchronous denoising at different rates. We show that prompt encodings need only preserve the informat

Why it matters
This model development creates a new option for users and a new testing obligation for developers. A fixed evaluation set comparing quality, cost and failure behavior is more useful than launch claims.
