arXiv:2603. 03305v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to generate executable outputs, JSON objects, and API calls, where a single syntax error can make the output unusable.

arXiv:2606. 00722v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Controlling language model outputs is essential for ensuring structural validity, reliability, and downstream usability, and diffusion language models are no exception.

arXiv:2605. 18476v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Coding and computation remain major bottlenecks in Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) workflows, especially as modern sampling algorithms have become increasingly complex and existing probabilistic programming systems remain limited in model support, extensibility, and composability.

arXiv:2601. 12247v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Diffusion Language Models (DLMs) present a promising non-sequential paradigm for text generation, distinct from standard autoregressive (AR) approaches.

arXiv:2607. 07026v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Constrained decoding is essential for serving LLMs, ensuring that generated outputs follow specific structures such as JSON schema-formatted function calls.

arXiv:2606. 19264v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The knowledge encoded in large language models (LLMs) can serve as a substrate for structured reasoning over variables describing a complex world, but accessing this knowledge in a probabilistically coherent manner poses a difficult inference problem.
By Sanghyeok Choi, Henry Gouk, Esmeralda S. Whitammer
Instruction-following ability is critical for deploying large language models in real-world applications, where downstream components depend on the output satisfying specific constraints. Modern deployments increasingly handle the full task in a single LLM call, with one prompt specifying a layered output whose overall artifact, structural sections, and nested fields must each satisfy concrete constraints.

arXiv:2606. 10820v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autoregressive (AR) language modeling is the dominant paradigm for text generation, yet its sequential token-by-token decoding makes inference memory-bound and inefficient.

arXiv:2511. 14967v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have shown great promise in generating structured diagrams from natural language descriptions, particularly Mermaid sequence diagrams for software engineering.

arXiv:2607. 29378v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) generate text by auto-regressively sampling the next token.
By Pirzada Suhail, Nagasai Saketh Naidu, Atanu R Sinha, Amit Sethi
Autoregressive (AR) language modeling is the dominant paradigm for text generation, yet its sequential token-by-token decoding makes inference memory-bound and inefficient. Existing acceleration approaches, such as speculative decoding and diffusion language models, can yield speedups under certain conditions but do not directly address high-load batch serving--the scenario most critical for industrial-scale deployment.
