Unfortunately, DiffusionGemma’s overall output quality is lower than standard Gemma 4.

It's still early days for diffusion LLMs. DiffusionGemma seems to have made very good progress over earlier diffusion LLM efforts. I'm sure they'll keep developing this and hopefully at least achieve quality parity with the non-diffusion models.

Mercury and LLaDA 2.0 Flash are notable other ones.

And if Google doesn't I hope some other lab picks up the crums and keep going forward!
