IFM released K2-Horizon-7B on Hugging Face, a diffusion-augmented LLM that adds a plug-and-play diffusion adapter to a causal autoregressive architecture. IFM claims speeds up to 5200 tokens per second with no quality loss, with a paper on arXiv (2609.04010).
Community-shared GGUF quantized weights for the K2-Horizon model family are now downloadable from Hugging Face under the IFM organization, spanning sizes from 0.9B to a 36B-A4B MoVA variant. Local inference users need a llama.cpp fork for now, since official llama.cpp support remains an in-progress pull request.

The Introspective Diffusion team introduced ORL (On-Policy Residual Learning), a training method that lets diffusion language models finalize more tokens per forward pass. Combined with their custom CUDA-graph inference engine dlmrt, it reaches 2,788 tokens/s on a single RTX 5090 and up to 6.9× end-to-end throughput gains. Models, training code, and the inference engine are all open source.

A new arXiv paper introduces Magenta, a training-free agentic pipeline that converts natural-language math problems into Lean 4 statements and machine-checked proofs. It reports 100% accuracy on AIME 2025, AIME 2026, and HMMT February 2026, and solves all six IMO 2026 problems when paired with the K2-Horizon-7B reasoner. The work matters to practitioners because it shows formal verification signals can be integrated into LLM reasoning without retraining.

A Medium article benchmarks LLaDA 8B, a diffusion-based LLM, against Llama 3 8B on a single MacBook with identical quantization and prompts. The author reports LLaDA achieves only 1.05 tokens per second, far below the claimed 1,000 tokens per second, and analyzes why the benchmark tool's own numbers may be misleading.

IFM released Jais 3, an open-weight model family focused on Arabic and strong on agentic tasks. Sizes range from 0.9B to 375B, with GGUF quantizations of the smaller tiers already on Hugging Face. It matters to practitioners seeking open models with Arabic strength and local-run capability.
