🚀 Introducing Next-Concept Modeling (NCM): our new paradigm for fast, parallel, coarse-to-fine text generation.
Compared to strong diffusion language models (DLMs) at similar parameter size, NCM achieves:
⚡ Up to 31× faster generation on downstream tasks like summarization and machine translation with comparable or better quality.
🏎️ 10–21× faster unconditional generation across TinyStories, LM1B, and OpenWebText, with comparable or better generative perplexity and using 3–5× fewer training tokens.
🧩 Better performance on reasoning tasks like Sudoku, outperforming both AR and diffusion baselines with fewer sampling steps.

What is funny about the Salomey Bafoe case and the unlawful attempt to arrest the Manhyia South MP is that the leader who promised to Reset Ghana is in New York to speak about historical injustice. I’m sure the irony is lost on the hypocrites.
I don’t even know how many times we have to say this.
The state shouldn’t be criminalizing speech. The state cannot decide how people choose to criticize the government. Some may choose decorous language, while others may not. That doesn’t make their speech criminal.
The message from the President must be clear: we are not criminalizing speech.
The arrests and intimidation of people over speech must stop!
