arXiv:2511. 11346v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Multi-token prediction (MTP) is a prominent strategy to significantly speed up generation in large language models (LLMs), especially in byte-level LLMs, which are tokeniser-free but prohibitively slow.

The paper introduces PACE-dLLM, an acceleration method for diffusion language models (dLLMs) that uses the model’s own per‑step confidence to estimate a ‘confidence cliff’ and determine the optimal look‑ahead horizon for block decoding. By fitting this cliff in closed form at each step, PACE-dLLM sets the horizon to its saturation point and applies an independent confidence threshold for token commitment, thereby avoiding the trade‑offs inherent in fixed‑size block decoding. Experiments on reasoning and code benchmarks show that PACE-dLLM achieves the best average accuracy on open‑source dLLM backbones while delivering significant wall‑clock speedups—up to 5.23× on LLaDA and 3.06× on Dream—improving the quality‑throughput Pareto frontier.
