Unlocking Lossless Speedups in LLMs via Discrete Diffusion

Subham Sekhar Sahoo, Lingjie Chen, Khiem Pham +14

Large Language Models (LLMs) owe much of their success to next-token prediction (NTP), but their autoregressive (AR) structure requires slow, sequential token generation. To overco…

Remasking Discrete Diffusion Models with Inference-Time Scaling

Guanghan Wang, Yair Schiff, Subham Sekhar Sahoo +1

Part of the success of diffusion models stems from their ability to perform iterative refinement, i.e., repeatedly correcting outputs during generation. However, modern masked disc…
