DScale: Scaling Block-Diffusion Speculative Decoding with Adaptive Verification
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.37532v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Growing large language model applications demand efficient inference. At high concurrency, block-diffusion speculative decoding suffers from verification padding, rejected candidates, and incompatibility between variable prefixes and fixed-shape graphs. Uniform truncation sacrifices acceptable tokens. We present DScale, preserving drafter architecture, weights, and full draft length. A separate 112K-parameter predictor requires neither confidence calibration nor hardware speed-curve preparation. Path-aware tiles reduce padding. Dynamic verify-l
