arXiv:2605.29716v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion Large Language Models (dLLMs) have emerged as a promising non-autoregressive generative paradigm. Given the prohibitive computational cost of full fine-tuning, Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) has become the standard approach. However, existing PEFT methods (e.g., LoRA), originally tailored for autoregressive models, rely on static parameters that are agnostic to the noise level. Consequently, they ignore the intrinsic dynamics of the diffusion process, where input distributions and generation difficulty shift significantly along
The proliferation of increasingly complex diffusion models necessitates more efficient fine-tuning methods that are optimized for their unique characteristics, addressing limitations of approaches designed for autoregressive models.
Improving the efficiency and effectiveness of fine-tuning for dLLMs will democratize access to and customization of these powerful generative models, accelerating their deployment and innovation across various applications.
Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) for diffusion models will become more sophisticated, moving beyond static parameters to noise-aware approaches that better integrate with the diffusion process dynamics.
