Researchers have developed Sangam, a new serving system designed to efficiently handle diffusion language models (dLLMs). Unlike traditional autoregressive models, dLLMs generate text iteratively and have bidirectional attention, which complicates standard caching techniques. Sangam introduces a deficit token-budget scheduler to manage in-flight decodes and whole prefills, aiming for amortized stall-free scheduling. The system also employs a hybrid serving strategy to balance prefill and decode resource allocation, showing latency improvements over existing methods on benchmarks like LLaDA-8B and Dream-7B. AI
