New MRP technique boosts language model speed and accuracy

Researchers from Modal Research and NYU Shanghai's HeavyBall Research have developed a new technique called Multi-Token Residual Prediction (MRP) that enhances the speed and accuracy of language models. MRP works by training a small module to predict the residual difference between adjacent denoising steps in diffusion language models, rather than the full distribution. This approach allows for faster decoding with minimal quality loss in a static regime, achieving up to 1.56x throughput, and recovers significant accuracy points lost in aggressive low-threshold decoding settings in a dynamic regime.
