Auto-regressive transformers and diffusion models will consolidate into one unified architecture.

Auto-regressive transformers and diffusion models will consolidate into one unified architecture. | I I think this is probably the tip of the iceberg for some like final consolidation of auto reggressive transformers which are used for codegen and natural language for the most part on the one hand and then diffusion models and diffusion transformers on the other hand that are used for images and audio and video. We're just going to finally get one consolidated architecture at the end of the day that does everything.
