Why might DiffusionGemma be better at tool calls than its benchmark quality suggests

In three linesDiffusionGemma generates 256 tokens in parallel with bidirectional attention, enabling self-correction before finalization. Unlike autoregressive models locked after each token, this architecture could improve structured tool calls despite lower base quality than Gemma 4. Testing needed to confirm if bidirectional correction compensates for lower quality.
