The paper introduces self‑orchestrating language models that annotate semantic dependence—identifying which tokens rely on others—to guide efficient inference. By leveraging these annotations, the authors design runtimes that parallelize autoregressive decoding, evict intermediate context, or determine denoising orders, achieving Pareto‑optimal quality‑efficiency trade‑offs. Three systems—PASTA, TIP, and Planned Diffusion—demonstrate these techniques for parallel decoding, memory‑efficient reasoning, and efficient discrete diffusion, respectively.

Flash-dLLM is a training‑free inference acceleration framework that improves the speed and memory efficiency of Diffusion Large Language Models (dLLMs). It tackles GPU memory I/O bottlenecks by introducing an I/O‑aware fused KV‑cache kernel and then employs a draft‑and‑verify decoding strategy that uses the dLLM itself as both drafter and verifier. Experiments on mathematical reasoning and code‑generation tasks show Flash‑dLLM outperforms existing acceleration methods, achieving up to 11.0× speedups over the Elastic‑Cache baseline.

Diff Diffusion is a diffusion-inspired large language model framework designed for efficient code editing. It predicts edit paths from an original snippet to its revised form by representing denoising as structured edit operations, and uses multi-stage training and efficient parallel decoding to focus computation on changed regions. The approach matches or outperforms autoregressive baselines while achieving up to 2.78× faster inference and a 39.0% reduction in median model latency in production.

Block-wise diffusion large language models (dLLMs) decode sequentially at the block level, enabling effective KV-cache reuse across blocks but making inter-block decoding strictly serial. Prior work has attempted to unlock inter-block parallelism through post-training methods, but achieves only modest speedups and often degrades accuracy.
