LLaDA2.X: A Series of Large Diffusion Language Models (from LLaDA2.0 to LLaDA2.2 and onwards...)

🌟 What's New

• [2026/07] 🚀 We released LLaDA2.2: Enabling Agentic Diffusion Language Models via Levenshtein Editing!
• [2026/02] We released LLaDA2.1: Speeding Up Text Diffusion via Token Editing!
• [2025/11] We released LLaDA2.0, the first diffusion language model scaled to 100B parameters, featuring MoE architecture and exceptional performance.

Model Introduction

We are thrilled to introduce LLaDA2.0, a milestone series of discrete diffusion Large Language Models (dLLMs) from the Ant Group. The LLaDA2.0 family, featuring LLaDA2.0-mini (16B) and LLaDA2.0-flash (100B) with a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture, marks the first time diffusion models have been scaled to the 100-billion parameter level.

Key Features

• 🚀 Scaled to 100B Parameters: LLaDA2.0-flash is the largest diffusion language model to date, demonstrating exceptional performance on code generation and complex instruction-following tasks.
• ⚡ 2.1x Inference Acceleration: Leveraging a parallel decoding mechanism, LLaDA2.0-flash-CAP achieves an inference speed of up to 535 tokens/s, significantly outpacing comparable AR models.
• 🔍 Fully Open Source: The model weights for both the 16B and 100B versions, along with associated training code, are fully open-sourced on Hugging Face.

Evaluation Results

Deployment and Usage

To make our 100B model practical, we have performed deep engineering optimizations. We built a custom inference engine based on dInfer and SGLang, which supports KV-Cache reuse and block-level parallel decoding. This makes LLaDA2.0 not just an academic achievement but a high-performance generation model ready for real-world deployment.
