WaveFilter: Enhancing the Long-Context Capability of Diffusion LLMs via Wavelet-Guided KV Cache Filtering

arXiv:2606.00724v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion Large Language Models (DLMs) have demonstrated significant advantages across various tasks. However, constrained by their multi-step iterative inference mechanism, their computational overhead and inference latency in long-context tasks have become core bottlenecks restricting their large-scale deployment. When processing long sequences, existing Key-Value (KV) caching mechanisms often face a dilemma where generation quality degrades drastically, where the core challenge lies in precisely and efficiently filtering critical tokens within
The proliferation of advanced LLMs and DLMs is pushing the boundaries of current computational efficiency, necessitating novel approaches to address long-context limitations.
Improving the long-context capability of Diffusion LLMs can drastically reduce operational costs and latency, making them more practical for real-world deployment in complex tasks.
The efficiency with which Diffusion LLMs can process and retain information over long sequences is enhanced, broadening their applicability in areas previously constrained by context length.
