LLaDA 1.5: Variance-Reduced Preference Optimization for Large Language Diffusion Models

We introduce LLaDA 1.5, a competitive large diffusion language model, trained by variance-reduced preference optimization (VRPO), as presented in the paper LLaDA 1.5: Variance-Reduced Preference Optimization for Large Language Diffusion Models.

Compared with LLaDA-8B-Instruct, LLaDA 1.5 achieves better performance on a wide range of tasks, including Math, Code, and Alignment tasks.

Inference

The LLaDA 1.5 model is available on Huggingface. Please employ the transformers to load.

from transformers import AutoModel, AutoTokenizer
import torch

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('GSAI-ML/LLaDA-1.5', trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('GSAI-ML/LLaDA-1.5', trust_remote_code=True, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16)

The model is based on LLaDA-8B-Instruct, you can use the code for LLaDA-8B-Instruct to inference.
