Elastic-dLLM: Position Preserving Context Compression and Augmentation of Diffusion LLMs

Junyi Wu, Tianchen Zhao, Shaoqiu Zhang +3

Unlike autoregressive models, which generate one token at a time, dLLMs denoise a chunk of [MASK] tokens jointly and sample one or more tokens per step; despite enabling parallel d…

DISA: Offline Importance Sampling for Distribution-Matching LLM-RL

Shaobo Wang, Yujie Chen, Yafeng Sun +9

Modern reasoning agents are increasingly evaluated on their ability to generate multiple valid solution paths, plans, or tool-use traces for a given input. Standard reward-maximizi…

Entropy-Gradient Inversion: Moving Toward Internal Mechanism of Large Reasoning Models

Junyao Yang, Chen Qian, Kun Wang +4

The advancement of Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) has catalyzed a paradigm shift from reactive ``fast thinking'' text generation to systematic, step-by-step ``slow thinking'' reason…

Mask Tokens as Prophet: Fine-Grained Cache Eviction for Efficient dLLM Inference

Jianuo Huang, Yaojie Zhang, Yicun Yang +4

Diffusion large language models (dLLMs) present a promising alternative to dominant autoregressive models (ARMs) by the ability of parallel decoding at the expense of substantial c…
