🚀 Introducing Dream-VL & Dream-VLA! We’re proving that dLLMs have an amazing advantage in building VLA models. The result is stunning performance: 🏆 97.2% on LIBERO ⚡ 27x speedup vs AR models 🔥 Beats OpenVLA & $\pi_0$ ✅ Fully Open Source Blog: hkunlp.github.io/blog/2025/drea…

🚀Building on the success of Dream 7B, we introduce Dream-VL and Dream-VLA, open VL and VLA models that fully unlock discrete diffusion’s advantages in long-horizon planning, bidirectional reasoning, and parallel action generation for multimodal tasks.

The world has lost one of the greatest physicists of the 20th century. "Nature seems to take advantage of the simple mathematical representations of the symmetry laws" Chen-Ning Yang (1922–2025)

✨New preprint alert✨Ever tried baking sourdough at home? 🍞Fascinated by the magic of fermentation and the tiny microbes behind it? What if we could give them intelligence, logic, and teamwork across kingdom to treat complex gut disease? That’s the vision behind our SINERGY!

Super excited about the release of our open diffusion language model! Dream 7B has finally achieved the general language model capabilities I've been dreaming of since we started working on discrete diffusion models. Check out our blog post for details: hkunlp.github.io/blog/2025/drea…
