Ermon: Diffusion LLMs Pareto-dominate autoregressive models on inference efficiency
“On the inference side, what we're seeing is that diffusion models are much more efficient. We're actually able to Pareto dominate autoregressive models. If you think about the typical trade-off between throughput versus latency, which you kind of like cannot, …”
