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.
