FlashDLM: Accelerating Diffusion Language Model Inference via Efficient KV Caching and Guided Diffusion

Diffusion language models offer parallel token generation and inherent bidirectionality, promising more efficient and powerful sequence modeling compared to autoregressive approaches. However, state-of-the-art diffusion models~(e.g., Dream 7B, LLaDA 8B) suffer from slow inference. While they match t…
