δMDM lets insertion-based masked diffusion models revise sequences by substituting previously unmasked tokens and deleting newly inserted masks, alongside inserting and unmasking. Its proposal and correction passes support drafting with revision. On OpenWebText, at 1,024 network forward passes, it reaches generative perplexity 20.35, versus 40.37 for FlexMDM and 38.16 for MDM; it is slightly worse than FlexMDM at 32 passes.
