The paper introduces HB‑SJD, a batched Speculative Jacobi Decoding backend that accelerates visual on‑policy distillation (OPD) by allowing images to advance independently and processing multiple tokens in parallel without a draft model. HB‑SJD switches between Full and Compact execution as images finish, reducing rollout and overall training time while maintaining generation quality. Experiments with LlamaGen demonstrate significant speedups without altering the teacher, distillation objective, or optimization procedure.

Efficient text-to-image generation requires both reinforcement-learning (RL)-based reward alignment and few-step distillation, yet these procedures are typically performed sequentially, increasing training cost and risking the loss of reward gains during compression. We instead take an RL-native perspective: diffusion RL already generates reward-scored finite-step trajectories, whose intermediate states provide a natural source of distillation supervision rather than a disposable byproduct of sampling.
