LESS: Adaptive mutual-stability sampling cuts diffusion LLM decoding steps by 72%

Researchers introduce LESS, a training-free adaptive sampler for diffusion large language models that treats token commitment as an online stopping problem. The method uses a joint stability rule combining confidence, persistence, and distributional stability to decide when to unmask tokens, avoiding wasted computation on already-stable positions. Evaluated on Dream-7B, LLaDA-8B, and LLaDA-1.5-8B across seven benchmarks, LESS reduces reverse denoising steps by 72.1% versus fixed-budget decoding while improving accuracy over prior adaptive samplers. The step reductions translate directly to fewer Transformer forward passes and lower wall-clock latency.

ADAS: Attention-Discounted Adaptive Sampler improves parallel decoding for masked diffusion language models

Researchers propose ADAS, a training-free reranking rule for masked diffusion language model decoding that addresses token interaction failures in parallel token commitment. The method greedily penalizes candidates that attend strongly to already-selected uncertain positions, using attention weights as soft marginal penalties rather than hard constraints. Evaluated on LLaDA-8B-Base and Dream-7B-Base across GSM8K, MATH500, HumanEval, and MBPP, ADAS improves low-NFE performance by 9–10 percentage points on average when plugged into existing samplers with only 3.1% runtime overhead.
