🔧 DFlash Speculative Decoding Drafts Whole Token Blocks in Parallel for Up to 15x Higher Throughput on NVIDIA Blackwell

UC San Diego's DFlash replaces autoregressive drafting with a lightweight block diffusion model for speculative decoding. It drafts whole token blocks in a single forward pass and conditions on target hidden features through KV injection. The paper reports up to 6.08x lossless speedup on Qwen3-8B, while NVIDIA reports up to 15x throughput on...
