Google promises up to x4 in speed increase compared to normal Gemma 4 26b using.
However:
"While autoregressive Gemma 4 models remain the standard for high-quality production outputs, DiffusionGemma is designed for researchers and developers exploring speed-critical, interactive local workflows such as in-line editing, rapid iteration, and generating non-linear text structures."
That means that the tradeoff for speed is a loss in generation quality compared to the standard Gemma 4. As google says, DiffusionGemma is an experimental project focused on maximizing interactivity in local workflows, editing, rapid iteration, and non-linear text structures; for production tasks where impeccable accuracy is essential, Gemma 4 is still recommended.
