ELYZA-Diffusion-Base-1.0-Dream-7B

Model Description

ELYZA-Diffusion-Base-1.0-Dream-7B is a Japanese-adapted diffusion language model released by ELYZA, Inc. Based on the open-source diffusion LLM Dream-v0-Instruct-7B , this model has been further pretrained on large-scale Japanese corpora.

The model follows a Discrete Diffusion Masked Language Model (DDMLM) formulation, where text generation is performed via iterative denoising starting from an all-MASK sequence.

This repository provides the base (non-instruction-tuned) model intended for research and evaluation. It is not intended as an end-user–ready system . For practical applications, please refer to the instruction-tuned variant .

For more details on the model design and training setup, please refer to our technical blog post .

Training

• Initialization: Dream-v0-7B-Instruct-7B
• Continued pretraining on Japanese text (~62B tokens, approximate)
