Title: DARE: Diffusion Language Model Activation Reuse for Efficient Inference
Abstract:
arXiv:2605.08134v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion Large Language Models (dLLMs) have emerged as a promising alternative to auto-regressive (AR) models, offering greater expressive capacity and potential for parallel generation and faster inference. However, open-source dLLMs remain immature, lagging behind AR models in both efficiency and quality. We identify an underexplored property of dLLMs: *token-wise redundancy* in bi-directional self-attention. Self-attention activations are hig
