ME AI News: Shenzhen-based diffusion language model company DiffuSpace has successfully completed two funding rounds, raising nearly RMB 500 million. The rounds were co-led by Matrix Partners China, Shunwei Capital, and Junlian Capital, with follow-on investments from Huawei HuaBo and Horizon Robotics. Multiple media outlets have called this the largest funding round ever in the global diffusion language model space. DiffuSpace was co-founded in May this year by Professor Kong Lingpeng of the University of Hong Kong and his doctoral students Gong Shansan and Ye Jiacheng. The team previously collaborated with Huawei Noah’s Ark Lab to release Dream 7B, whose model weights have since been open-sourced. The company utilizes diffusion language model (dLLM) technology, which differs from mainstream models like GPT and Claude that generate text sequentially; instead, diffusion models process multiple positions simultaneously and iteratively refine and complete the output. DiffuSpace is currently training a new 30-billion-parameter model, planned for imminent release and open-sourcing. The company will focus on advancing code agents and local deployment on devices such as smartphones, cars, and robots. (Source: BlockBeats)
