DIP: Dynamic In-Context Planner For Diffusion Language Models
Quick summary
arXiv:2601.03199v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Diffusion language models (DLMs) have shown strong potential for general natural language tasks with in-context examples. Existing In-Context Learning (ICL) approaches largely inherit the practice of autoregressive language models (ARLMs), incorporating all examples into a fixed prompt. However, applying this rigid, static-prompt paradigm to DLMs incurs substantial computational overhead, as the model must evaluate the maximum context length at every step. We address this inefficiency with a key discovery: the block-wise KV-cache mechan
