Researchers have developed xPress, a novel method to improve speculative decoding in diffusion drafters. This technique addresses the issue of independently sampled tokens in diffusion models, which can lead to jointly improbable sequences. By restoring causal dependencies across an entire block of draft tokens in parallel, xPress significantly enhances the acceptance length and end-to-end decoding throughput. Tests on the Qwen3-8B model across various benchmarks showed an average increase of 30% in acceptance length and 1.3x in throughput compared to the original dFlash method. AI
