Apple releases CADD-Base-7B, a masked diffusion model for code generation

Apple has released CADD-Base-7B on Hugging Face, a 7B masked diffusion language model for code generation that uses Continuously Augmented Discrete Diffusion (CADD) to guide discrete denoising with a continuous flow-matching signal.

The model loads through Transformers with trust_remote_code, and its diffusion_generate method supports CADD sampling modes "weighted" and "argmax" with alg options such as "entropy" and "maskgit_plus".

The release builds on DiffuCoder and reuses Dream's modeling architecture and generation utilities.
