New STDec decoding method boosts dLLM efficiency and stability

Researchers have introduced STDec, a novel decoding approach for Diffusion Large Language Models (dLLMs) that enhances efficiency and maintains generation quality. Unlike previous methods that rely on global confidence thresholds, STDec incorporates spatial and temporal stability to guide the decoding process. This involves dynamically adjusting token-adaptive thresholds based on neighboring decoded states and the consistency of predicted token IDs across denoising steps. STDec is training-free and compatible with existing acceleration techniques, demonstrating significant speedups, such as a 14.17x improvement on the MBPP benchmark with LLaDA, while preserving generation scores.

    STDec: Spatio-Temporal Stability Guided Decoding for dLLMs

    arXiv:2604.06330v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Diffusion Large Language Models (dLLMs) have achieved rapid progress, viewed as a promising alternative to the autoregressive paradigm. However, most dLLM decoders still adopt a global confidence threshold, and do not explicitly…
