About

Instruction-tuned DiffusionGemma model built on the Gemma 4 26B-A4B backbone. Uses a masked-diffusion (non-autoregressive) inference strategy for faster text generation — the model iteratively refines a sequence of masked tokens rather than predicting each token left-to-right. The 26B sparse MoE architecture activates approximately 4B parameters per forward pass. Released open-source under Apache 2.0 on June 10, 2026.
