- What happened
- DiVR, a verifier that learns when diffusion language models should regenerate text blocks, improves reasoning accuracy from 35.3% to 43.4% on benchmarks.
- Why it matters
- Engineers building or optimizing diffusion-based language models for reasoning tasks need better decoding strategies beyond greedy generation.
- Watch out
- DiVR costs 1.9 to 3.5 times more than greedy decoding, and effectiveness depends on training the verifier on model-specific trajectories.
