arXiv:2606. 00516v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Mixed batching (MB)--interleaving prefill and decode in a single batch--has become the standard scheduling strategy for large language model (LLM) inference due to its efficiency in maximizing compute and memory utilization.

arXiv:2504. 11320v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models now serve millions of users daily, with providers incurring costs exceeding $700,000 per day.

arXiv:2607. 14427v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A depth-recurrent transformer applies a weight-tied core a variable number of times, and prior work has shown that training with a randomized recursion count yields one checkpoint usable across a range of inference depths.

arXiv:2606. 27743v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) inference is typically deployed under a static resource assumption, where models execute a fixed computational graph regardless of the runtime environment.

arXiv:2607. 04206v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion language models (dLLMs) generate text by iteratively denoising a masked response and can commit multiple output positions per model invocation.

arXiv:2607. 08930v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Efficient serving of diffusion large language models (dLLMs) is hindered by convergence heterogeneity: when batching multiple requests, different sequences converge at different rates, causing faster requests to stall behind slower stragglers and introducing compute bubbles and tail latency.

arXiv:2606. 04438v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) and looped architectures scale models along two orthogonal axes, namely parameter capacity and effective depth.

arXiv:2606. 09514v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) incur high inference cost due to their depth and parameter scale.

Diffusion language models (dLLMs) generate text by iteratively denoising a masked response and can commit multiple output positions per model invocation. Their bidirectional attention prevents exact autoregressive-style KV caching, since committing one position shifts the KV activations of all others.
arXiv:2604. 01622v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Diffusion language models (DLMs) enable parallel, non-autoregressive text generation, yet existing DLM mixture-of-experts (MoE) models inherit token-choice (TC) routing from autoregressive systems, leading to load imbalance and rigid computation allocation.

arXiv:2607. 10110v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent work on looped language models suggests that many reasoning problems benefit from greater computational depth rather than from additional independent parameters.
