DRelay introduces a global draft context mechanism to improve prefix-aware parallel speculative decoding for large language models. By using a global reader to extract predictive information across the entire draft block and a causal selector to repair early token selection errors, DRelay extends the accepted prefix length and enhances decoding performance. Experiments on eight benchmarks show consistent gains over existing methods such as DFlash, Domino, and DSpark, with notable speedup improvements in SGLang serving.

arXiv:2607. 14952v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A growing gap separates inference context lengths from RL post-training: inference systems are approaching million-token contexts, while post-training workloads often remain at 256K tokens or below and rely on length generalization at deployment.

arXiv:2607. 20467v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While parallel decoding is central to the efficiency of Diffusion Large Language Models (dLLMs), current strategies are often hindered by overly conservative confidence thresholds.
