Fudan's D3D decouples diffusion drafting for asynchronous speculative decoding speedups

Fudan-University · hf · 2026-11-06

Fudan University and collaborators released D3D, a standalone diffusion drafter removing target-model hidden-state dependencies to enable asynchronous speculative decoding. Combining blockwise denoising with auxiliary autoregressive supervision, it drafts successor blocks during verification in one packed pass; pruning 5 of 36 layers retains over 99% of mean accepted length.
