arXiv:2602.05992v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Diffusion large language models (dLLMs) have emerged as a promising alternative for text generation, distinguished by their native support for parallel decoding. In practice, block inference is crucial for avoiding order misalignment in global bidirectional decoding and improving output quality. However, the widely-used fixed, predefined block (naive) schedule is agnostic to semantic difficulty, making it a suboptimal strategy for both quality and efficiency: it can force premature commitments to uncertain positions while delaying easy positi
The continuous evolution of large language models and their deployment in high-demand environments necessitates practical advancements in efficiency and output quality, particularly as parallel decoding becomes standard.
Improved scheduling for diffusion LLMs directly translates to more efficient compute resource utilization and higher quality generative AI outputs, impacting a wide range of applications and operational costs.
The adoption of dynamic scheduling over fixed block schedules introduces a more adaptive and semantically aware approach to parallel decoding in diffusion LLMs, optimizing performance.
