TeDiServe: High SLO Attainment Serving for Diffusion Language Models

TeDiServe is a cluster‑level serving system designed for diffusion language models (DLMs). It addresses DLM‑specific challenges such as the speed‑quality tradeoff from confidence‑based denoising, variable parallelization under fluctuating load, and non‑uniform per‑step costs from approximate KV caching. By employing deadline‑aware scheduling, adaptive load control, and a quality‑aware optimization for cluster reconfiguration, TeDiServe achieves up to 56.6 percentage points higher SLO attainment and reduces end‑to‑end latency by up to 46% with less than 1% accuracy loss.

Routing Should Pay for Itself: Sparse Supervision for Economical LLM Routing

The paper introduces SaveRouter, a sparse‑supervision framework for large language model routing that selectively gathers informative model feedback and shares capability information across related queries. By using only about 33–41% of available training feedback, SaveRouter achieves competitive or superior routing quality while reducing the break‑even deployment volume by 1.9–9.5× compared to conventional routers. The study also shows that the supervision level that minimizes serving cost may differ from the one that yields the earliest payback.
