GenAI image generators like Stable Diffusion do not draw a picture pixel by pixel from left to right. They start with noise and iteratively refine the entire image in parallel until it converges, in a process known as diffusion. For years, applying that same principle to text generation had remained out of reach at scale. Standard language models work like a typewriter: one token at a time, left to right, with no ability to revise a committed output. That pattern works in the cloud, where batch sizes keep GPUs saturated. For local inference or low-concurrency deployments, the GPU is idle most of the time. Google's DiffusionGemma, released this week, is an open source experimental model that applies diffusion to text generation at production scale. Built on the Gemma 4 backbone and released under the Apache 2.0 license, it is the first diffusion language model natively supported in the open source vLLM inference platform. It generates a 256-token block in parallel rather than sequentially, with every token position attending to every other. Google says DiffusionGemma generates text up to 4x faster than standard models on GPUs. At batch size 1 on a single Nvidia H100, the FP8 version reaches 1,008 tokens per second. On H200, it hits 1,288 — roughly six times a standard autoregressive baseline, according to vLLM benchmark results published today. Despite the speed gains, Google did not oversell the release. The company's launch post acknowledged directly that DiffusionGemma's overall output quality is lower than standard Gemma 4, adding "For applications that demand maximum quality, we recommend deploying standard Gemma 4." What DiffusionGemma does DiffusionGemma does not generate tokens in order. It starts with a block of 256 random placeholder tokens, effectively a blank canvas, and runs multiple refinement passes over the entire block at once. On each pass, it evaluates every position and locks in the ones it is most confident about. Uncertain positions get randomiz...

House Rejects Short-Term Spy Law Extension As GOP Races To Preserve FISA Surveillance Tool Before Friday Deadline Update (1100ET): A key spy law could expire after the House blocked its short-term reauthorization. The June 11 vote set back an effort to renew Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). President Trump’s selection of Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence drove Democratic opposition to reauthorizing Section 702. Some Republicans have voiced concerns about how the authority, though targeted at foreigners abroad, enables the incidental warrantless surveillance of Americans. The White House could attempt to bridge the gap with an executive order. In a June 6 letter to the White House, Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) and Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) recommended such a course of action in anticipation of a possible lapse. As American Greatness detailed earlier, The House is preparing to vote on a short-term extension of a key federal surveillance program after Senate negotiations stalled, setting up a battle over national security authorities that are set to expire this week. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-LA, announced Wednesday that the chamber will vote Thursday morning on a temporary reauthorization of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, extending the authority through July 2. The vote comes ahead of a Friday deadline and follows resistance in the Senate, where Democrats blocked efforts to quickly advance a similar extension. “We’re not having a great amount of confidence that they’re going to be able to get that done,” Johnson said of the Senate. “So, the House will once again do our job.” The push for a short-term extension gained momentum after President Donald Trump urged Congress to act following a meeting with Johnson earlier Wednesday. “FISA 702 is very important to our Military, and keeping the American People safe, especially during the Wo...
