arXiv:2606.27617v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Masked Diffusion Models (MDMs) promise fast, parallel language generation, but their reverse transition factorises across token positions -- an approximation that breaks down in the few-step sampling regime where parallel generation ought to provide the greatest efficiency gains. Flow Language Models (FLMs) sidestep this limitation by learning a continuous flow that transports noise toward clean sequences represented in Euclidean space, inducing a flow map that can be distilled for single-step generation. However, this makes complex tasks requi
