  1. First systematic empirical study of diffusion LLMs for code generation: 7 diffusion models reach 79.1% on MBPP+ versus 73.3% for the best autoregressive baseline, yet open-source diffusion models still do not consistently match strong autoregressive models

    This study empirically evaluates 7 representative diffusion LLMs (including the closed-source Mercury-Coder-Small) against 4 open-source autoregressive baselines on HumanEval/HumanEval+, MBPP/MBPP+, HumanEval-X, LiveCodeBench, RepoQA, RepoBench-C, and SWE-Bench Verified, finding promising but uneven code-generation ability: the closed-source diffusion model leads on most benchmarks (e.g., 79.1% on MBPP+ versus 73.

    Flash-dLLM: I/O-Aware KV Caching and Parallel Decoding for Fast, Memory-Efficient Diffusion LLMs

    Flash-dLLM is a training-free inference acceleration framework for diffusion large language models: it pairs an I/O-aware fused KV-cache kernel — folding QKV projection, RoPE and cache writes together in SRAM and writing keys and values straight into the cache — with scheduled Flash Attention to ease GPU memory-traffic bottlenecks, keeps only a small set of most-attended tokens through selective cache updates, and lets the dLLM serve as both drafter and verifier (Flash-Verify); evaluated on LLaDA-1.5 across GSM8K, MATH, HumanEval and MBPP, it reports 5.1× and 11.0× speedups over the strongest baseline Elastic-Cache on GSM8K and HumanEval while preserving generation quality.
