改进离散扩散模型，实现高分辨率图像生成的精准与高效。

We propose Nemotron-Labs-Diffusion-Image, a state-of-the-art masked discrete diffusion model (MDM) for high-resolution text-to-image synthesis. Compared with prior work on masked image generation, Nemotron-Labs-Diffusion-Image addresses two key challenges. First, unlike continuous diffusion models which progressively refine latent representations across the entire image, standard MDMs lack self-correcting capability because discrete tokens cannot be modified once they are unmasked. Second, although increasing the vocabulary size of discrete image tokenizers improves reconstruction fidelity, it introduces optimization difficulties for generative modeling as the per-token training signal becomes increasingly sparse. To address the first challenge, Nemotron-Labs-Diffusion-Image incorporates a token-editing mechanism that enables the model to dynamically revise already-unmasked tokens during inference, similar to how a sculptor iteratively refines their work. To tackle the second challenge, we propose a Grouped Cross-Entropy (GCE) objective that assigns positive learning signals to tokens neighboring the ground truth in embedding space, thereby alleviating signal sparsity. To further improve training efficiency, we implement a custom fused operator for GCE that significantly reduces VRAM usage in large-vocabulary settings. Experimental results demonstrate that these innovations substantially improve both training efficiency and image fidelity of masked discrete image generators, achieving a score of 0.90 on GenEval, 86.9 on DPG and 10.76 of HPSv3.
