HyperZip: Efficient Data Compression through Personalized Diffusion LLMs with Hypernetworks

HyperZip introduces an efficient data compression framework that uses diffusion-based large language models (dLLMs) with Multi-Token Prediction to speed up compression. It addresses the trade‑off between throughput and compression rate by employing a hypernetwork that generates data‑specific updates from a context representation, allowing the dLLM to adapt to target data without costly fine‑tuning. Experiments show HyperZip outperforms state‑of‑the‑art baselines in both compression rate and speed.

Diffuse to Compress: Leveraging Diffusion LMs for Lossless Compression

arXiv:2608. 11249v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study the problem of lossless text compression, motivated by the rapid growth in the collection and storage of digital textual data - including plain text, source code, and structured formats such as XML - and by recent advances in neural language model-based compression.

Unlocking Lossless Speedups in LLMs via Discrete Diffusion

arXiv:2609. 04010v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) owe much of their success to next-token prediction (NTP), but their autoregressive (AR) structure requires slow, sequential token generation.

Affix Cache for Diffusion Large Language Models

The paper introduces ACache, an affix-oriented cache reuse mechanism for Diffusion Large Language Models (DLLMs). ACache identifies a small set of critical affix tokens, called Anchor Tokens, and selectively recomputes their key-value states while reusing the rest of the affix cache. Experiments on Fast-dLLM and Nano-vLLM show that recomputing about 20% of affix tokens restores accuracy and can reduce recompute latency by up to 55.7% while improving throughput by up to 1.68×.
