Ripple-Pivot Search: Active Parallel Decoding for Diffusion Large Language Models

Diffusion Large Language Models (dLLMs) have emerged as a competitive alternative to autoregressive language models, offering the potential for substantially faster inference through parallel decoding. Existing parallel decoding schedulers typically commit positions only after they meet a per-position criterion, overlooking how early commitments may benefit subsequent decoding.

Polestar: Drift-Aware Cache Calibration and Token Commitment for Efficient Inference of Diffusion LLMs

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.

Masked Language Flow Models

arXiv:2606. 27617v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Masked Diffusion Models (MDMs) promise fast, parallel language generation, but their reverse transition factorises across token positions -- an approximation that breaks down in the few-step sampling regime where parallel generation ought to provide the greatest efficiency gains.
