"DiffusionGemma as Jev" showcases the power of non-autoregressive architectures.
While Jev demonstrates the value of rapid decision models, running DiffusionGemma in this paradigm leverages canvas diffusion to evaluate structured choices in a single parallel pass:
โก ๏ธMassive Parallelism: Denoises across an open canvas in a single step instead of sequential autoregressive token generation (~0.2s on a DGX spark).
๐ง Full Bidirectional Attention: Allows every option to attend to the full context concurrently, yielding well-calibrated decision distributions.
๐๏ธ Multimodal Grounding: Inherits Gemma 4's spatial vision capabilities for complex visual and text decisions.

I ran some real, live evals on Jev vs DiffusionGemma-as-Jev (my patch for vLLM!)
DiffusionGemma comes out as the winner, I think.

Is Jev faster than DiffusionGemma? No โ (API vs DGX Spark)
Is Jev smarter than DiffusionGemma? No โ (they're roughly tied!)
