Batch-Paced: Fixed-Budget Batch Decoding in Discrete Diffusion Language Models

We formulate fixed-budget dLLM batch decoding and introduce Batch-Paced, a training-free method that jointly optimizes the allocation of decoding compute across requests to improve overall batch quality.

Key points

  • As generative language models become more capable and widely used, inference demand grows, making efficient serving increasingly important.
  • Discrete diffusion language models (dLLMs) offer a promising path to more efficient inference through parallel token generation.
  • Prior dLLM decoding methods, however, focus on improving inference efficiency for individual sequences.
  • We further show that Batch-Paced's batch decode time remains competitive and that adding a decoding-depth allowance during Batch-Paced decoding can shorten it further at a modest performance cost.
