arXiv:2511. 15927v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Diffusion language models (DLMs) have emerged as a promising alternative to autoregressive (AR) generation, yet their reliance on Transformer backbones limits inference efficiency due to quadratic attention or KV-cache overhead.

arXiv:2506. 14753v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Diffusion models are well known for their ability to generate a high-fidelity image for an input prompt through an iterative denoising process.

The paper introduces an adaptive step schedule controller for text‑to‑image diffusion models, allowing the number of denoising steps to vary based on the complexity of the input prompt. By mixing step schedules of different sizes and monitoring error discrepancies at each timestep, the method switches schedules to maintain image quality while reducing inference time. Experiments on COCO and DiffusionDB demonstrate that this approach achieves faster generation without sacrificing visual fidelity.

arXiv:2604. 16514v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Autoregressive vision-language models (VLMs) deliver strong multimodal capability, but their token-by-token decoding imposes a fundamental inference bottleneck.

The paper introduces Less Uniform Diffusion (LUDI), a framework that improves uniform diffusion language models by using a less uniform loss and per-token time embeddings to guide reverse transitions and enable confidence-based few-step sampling. Experiments demonstrate that LUDI provides cleaner supervision, enhances few-step generation, and scales to a 7B model (LUDI-7B) that achieves a 3-token-per-step speedup over autoregressive decoding while matching masked diffusion baselines. The work suggests that UDLMs still have untapped potential for complex generation tasks.

arXiv:2607. 14107v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The inference efficiency of diffusion large language models (dLLMs) is constrained by two challenges: bidirectional attention precludes efficient KV-cache reuse, while increasing decoding parallelism with static confidence thresholds can compromise generation quality.
