Next-Concept Modeling: Fast, Parallel Coarse-to-Fine Text Generation

arXiv:2610.14162v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion language models (DLMs) offer parallel sampling for faster generation than autoregressive models, an increasingly important advantage as inference becomes a dominant computational workload. However, DLMs degrade quickly with fewer sampling steps, process the full sequence at every step, and require many passes over the dataset to reach good quality. We introduce Next-Concept Modeling (NCM), a two-stage, coarse-to-fine framework: a multiscale residual VQ-VAE encodes text into a hierarchy of discrete codes, and a transformer generates on
