Follow the Latent Roadmap: Navigating Revocable Decoding for Diffusion LLMs with Anchor Tokens (opens in new tab)

Diffusion Large Language Models (dLLMs) offer a promising avenue for parallel generation but face a trade-off between decoding speed and quality. While revocable decoding strategies attempt to mitigate errors by verifying and remasking tokens, they typically operate within a mixed-quality context. This leads to two critical failures: \textit{Error Propagation}, where new tokens absorb toxic information from erroneous context, and \textit{Local E...
