Diffusion-Forcing Sampler

Efficient Parallel Samplers for Recurrent-Depth Models and Their Connection to Diffusion Language Models

Jonas Geiping, Xinyu Yang, Guinan Su

Connects recurrent-depth models to diffusion language models and builds a diffusion-forcing sampler that decodes a new token every forward pass while earlier tokens' latents keep being refined in parallel through recurrence.

Inside the method

Each pass: new token at depth 1 ‖ earlier tokens refined further

Simplified conceptual schematic. Consult the paper for the complete architecture.

Reading note

Applies to existing 3.5B recurrent-depth transformers such as Huginn without tuning, giving up to 5× speedup; generation is argued to be strictly more expressive than autoregressive decoding at the same time budget.
