Self-Orchestrating Language Models: Leveraging Semantic Dependence for Efficient Inference

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper introduces self‑orchestrating language models that annotate semantic dependence—identifying which tokens rely on others—to guide efficient inference. By leveraging these annotations, the authors design runtimes that parallelize autoregressive decoding, evict intermediate context, or determine denoising orders, achieving Pareto‑optimal quality‑efficiency trade‑offs. Three systems—PASTA, TIP, and Planned Diffusion—demonstrate these techniques for parallel decoding, memory‑efficient reasoning, and efficient discrete diffusion, respectively.

Unlocking Lossless Speedups in LLMs via Discrete Diffusion

arXiv:2609. 04010v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) owe much of their success to next-token prediction (NTP), but their autoregressive (AR) structure requires slow, sequential token generation.

Residual Context Diffusion Language Models

arXiv:2601. 22954v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Diffusion Large Language Models (dLLMs) have emerged as a promising alternative to purely autoregressive language models because they can decode multiple tokens in parallel.
