Gitar raises $9M to clean up the mess AI-generated code is making
Gitar came out of stealth Wednesday with $9 million in funding and a simple pitch: use AI to fix the problems AI-created code is causing.

Diffusion language models have a problem. They can generate tokens in parallel, which should make them faster than autoregressive models. But they have always been worse at actually producing good text. A new paper from Together AI, UIUC, Princeton, Stanford, and UT Austin claims to have fixed this. The paper introduces I-DLM, the Introspective Diffusion Language Model. The core insight is simple once you see it: autoregressive models agree with what they generate, diffusion models do not. The a
