arXiv:2604.08564v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Auto-regressive models (ARMs) have established a dominant paradigm in language modeling. However, their strictly sequential sampling paradigm imposes fundamental constraints on both inference efficiency and modeling flexibility. To address these limitations, diffusion-based large language models (dLLMs) have been proposed, offering the potential for parallel sampling and flexible language modeling. Despite these advantages, current dLLMs sampling strategies rely primarily on token level information, which fails to account for global seq
The continuous evolution of large language models necessitates addressing fundamental architectural limitations like sequential sampling to unlock new performance efficiencies.
This development offers a potential path to significantly improve the efficiency and flexibility of large language models, impacting their deployment and application across various industries.
Current diffusion language models are enhanced with a novel sampling strategy that accounts for global sequence context, potentially leading to faster inference and more nuanced language generation.
