arXiv:2605.25969v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Causal Transformer language models suffer from strictly sequential decoding and a quadratic per-step attention cost. While linear-time causal models and discrete diffusion models each address these weaknesses, their integration remains inherently inconsistent: diffusion requires bidirectional attention, while causal models are unidirectional. To unify these architectures, we propose $B^3D-RWKV$, a diffusion RWKV variant that integrates the model's $O(L)$ inference efficiency with parallel, bidirectional discrete-diffusion through a \emph{triplet-
The continuous evolution of AI models pushes for more efficient and scalable architectures, particularly as computational demands for large language models increase.
This research addresses fundamental limitations in current transformer and diffusion models, potentially leading to more efficient and powerful AI systems for a sophisticated reader.
The proposed B3D-RWKV model unifies the efficiency of linear-time causal models with the bidirectional capabilities of discrete diffusion, overcoming previous architectural inconsistencies.
