RSPO interprets reward advantages as targets for relative log-ratios in dLLMs, calibrating noisy estimates to stabilize RLVR training and achieve strong gains on planning tasks with competitive math reasoning performance.
TAD improves the accuracy-parallelism trade-off in diffusion LLMs via temporal-aware self-distillation that applies hard labels to soon-to-be-decoded tokens and soft supervision to future tokens.
BadDLM implants effective backdoors in diffusion language models across concept, attribute, alignment, and payload targets by exploiting denoising dynamics while preserving clean performance.
LEAP detects early-converging tokens in dLLMs via future context filtering and multi-sequence superposition, reducing average denoising steps by about 30% while maintaining accuracy.
FoCore uses self-contrast on early-converging high-density tokens to boost diffusion LLM quality on reasoning benchmarks while cutting decoding steps by over 2x.
DepCap accelerates diffusion LM inference up to 5.63x by using last-block influence for adaptive block boundaries and conflict-free token selection for parallel decoding, with negligible quality loss.
ECHO is a one-step block diffusion VLM for chest X-ray reports that improves RaTE and SemScore by over 60% while delivering 8x faster inference than autoregressive baselines.
DEMASK adds a lightweight pairwise-dependency predictor to dLLMs and uses greedy selection to enable parallel unmasking whose total-variation error is provably bounded under sub-additivity.
BitLM replaces per-token softmax with bitwise continuous diffusion inside causal blocks to generate multiple tokens in parallel while preserving autoregressive structure.
TrajDLM applies block diffusion language models to discrete road-segment sequences with topology constraints to generate realistic trajectories up to 2.8 times faster than prior methods while supporting zero-shot transfer.
dFlowGRPO is a new rate-aware RL method for discrete flow models that outperforms prior GRPO approaches on image generation and matches continuous flow models while supporting broad probability paths.
ReflectDrive-2 combines masked discrete diffusion with RL-aligned self-editing to generate and refine driving trajectories, reaching 91.0 PDMS on NAVSIM camera-only and 94.8 in best-of-6.
SCMDM adapts trained masked diffusion models to condition denoising steps on their own prior clean predictions, cutting generative perplexity nearly in half on open-web text while improving discretized image, molecule, and genomic synthesis.
LLaDA2.0-Uni unifies multimodal understanding and generation inside one discrete diffusion large language model with a semantic tokenizer, MoE backbone, and diffusion decoder.
Stability-Weighted Decoding improves diffusion LLM accuracy by modulating token scores with temporal stability from KL divergence between prediction steps.
VASR separates continuation and residual variance in reward-guided diffusion SMC, using optimal mass allocation and systematic resampling to achieve up to 26% better FID scores and faster runtimes than prior SMC and MCTS methods.
DMax enables faster parallel decoding in diffusion language models by using on-policy training to recover from errors and soft embedding interpolations for iterative revision, boosting tokens per forward pass roughly 2-3x on benchmarks while preserving accuracy.
