arXiv:2608.11235v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion language models (DLMs) update many tokens in parallel, yet practical decoders often use a fixed denoising horizon. Many predictions stabilize early, but blockwise decoding continues until all positions are resolved, causin…

arXiv:2604.09921v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Much work has been done on designing fast and accurate sampling for diffusion language models (dLLMs). However, these efforts have largely focused on the tradeoff between speed and quality of individual samples; how to additiona…
arXiv:2608.08086v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion language models (DLMs) iteratively refine a sequence, allowing earlier predictions to be revised as context evolves. This rollback capability distinguishes them from irreversible autoregressive generation, but makes infere…

arXiv:2608.09424v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autoregressive language models align training and use: generation conditions on a clean prompt, and training predicts future tokens from clean left context. Diffusion language models offer parallel denoising, but native dLLM pretrai…
arXiv:2608.08791v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion language models use broad context to create text, suggesting they might handle input noise better than standard models. Testing reveals this is only partially true. Internally, diffusion models detect text errors highly ac…

arXiv:2608.08082v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Classifier-free guidance (CFG) is usually kept on throughout masked diffusion language model decoding, although its benefit varies across prompts and over time. We study when CFG is actually needed by comparing, from any partial out…
arXiv:2608.06529v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Soft-masking accelerates the convergence of Masked Diffusion Language Models (MDLMs). Existing formulations build this blend with linear interpolation (LERP) in the raw embedding space, which implicitly treats that space as Euclidea…
arXiv:2507.08390v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Discrete diffusion models have recently emerged as strong alternatives to autoregressive language models, matching their performance through large-scale training. However, inference-time control remains relatively underexplored.…
