arXiv:2607. 12829v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion large language models (dLLMs) offer a theoretical advantage in parallel generation over standard autoregressive models.

Diffusion large language models (DLLMs) enable non-autoregressive generation by iteratively denoising corrupted token sequences with bidirectional context. Despite their ability to update multiple positions in parallel, inference remains costly due to the many denoising steps required for high-quality generation.
arXiv:2603. 07475v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Autoregressive (AR) language models build representations incrementally via left-to-right prediction, while diffusion language models (dLLMs) are trained through full-sequence denoising.

arXiv:2606. 01774v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autoregressive (AR) large language models (LLMs) have achieved broad practical success, but sequential decoding remains a key bottleneck for low-latency deployment.
