Parallel Token Generation via Diffusion-Augmented LLMs
September 2, 2026
Diffusion-augmented LLMs decouple autoregressive weights from lightweight diffusion weights to enable parallel token sampling. This architecture uses a distillation phase to allow multiple tokens to be drawn simultaneously without losing the distribution properties of next-token prediction.
