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.
Autoregressive large language model (LLM) serving is increasingly limited by key-value (KV) cache movement rather than dense matrix multiplication. Modern paged-attention systems reduce KV-cache fragmentation and mature kernels such as FlashInfer provide highly optimized native-paged decode attention.
