Nearly a million passports and photo IDs were left unprotected on the public internet

Typing a few letters and numbers into my web browser, I find myself gaping at the identity documents of complete strangers. The passport of a young woman from Germany. The passport of a man from Spain with glasses resting on his head. The front and back of another man's driver's license, a stereotypically goofy expression […]

DiffusionGemma

DiffusionGemma Last May Google briefly released an experimental Gemini Diffusion model. I tried the preview at the time and recorded it running at 857 tokens/second. It was an exciting model, but Google made no further announcements about it. That research has returned in the best possible way: as a new open weight (Apache 2 licensed) Gemma model, google/diffusiongemma-26B-A4B-it . NVIDIA are currently hosting the model for free on their NIM cloud API. I used that API to generate this pelican , which took 4.4s (according to time uv run generate.py ) to return 2,409 tokens - so at least 500 tokens/second.

Google's new open model DiffusionGemma generates text from noise instead of word by word

Google released DiffusionGemma, a 26-billion-parameter model that generates text not token by token but through diffusion, similar to how image AI turns noise into a picture. According to Nvidia, it hits about 1,000 tokens per second on a single H100 GPU, roughly four times faster than comparable autoregressive models. The speed comes at a cost, though. Output quality is lower, so Google is positioning it as an experimental tool for developers for now.
