The paper investigates how block‑diffusion language models can use a constant‑size cache to enable efficient parallel decoding. By employing sequence mixers that summarize completed blocks into a reusable state and a block‑causal training objective, the authors pretrain three 3B block‑diffusion denoisers (attention, Mamba, and hybrid) on 300 B tokens. The resulting state‑space cache remains O(1) in memory and latency regardless of context length, yielding significant speed‑up and memory savings compared to traditional attention‑based caches, especially at very long sequences.

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.

Block-wise diffusion large language models (dLLMs) decode sequentially at the block level, enabling effective KV-cache reuse across blocks but making inter-block decoding strictly serial. Prior work has attempted to unlock inter-block parallelism through post-training methods, but achieves only modest speedups and often degrades accuracy.
