## Summary

BAAI, BUPT, and PKU introduce LLaCO, an 8B continuous diffusion language model. The post says it outperforms previous continuous baselines and discrete diffusion models LLaDA-8B and Dream-7B on math and code tasks.

## Post

Continuous Diffusion for LLMs just got its breakthrough moment.

Meet LLaCO: a breakthrough 8B Continuous Diffusion Language Model that not only shatters previous continuous baselines, but beats competitive discrete diffusion models like LLaDA-8B and Dream-7B in Math & Code! Continuous Diffusion truly rivals state-of-the-art LLMs in deep reasoning.
