DiffusionGemma

Google DeepMind · 10 June 2026

DiffusionGemma is an Apache-2.0, 26B MoE open text-diffusion model that generates whole blocks of text at once for up to 4x faster inference on GPUs.

Adds a diffusion head to a Gemma 4 base using Gemini Diffusion research, so many tokens are denoised in parallel rather than one at a time. Labeled experimental, aimed at interactive local workflows.
