In real-world Tool-Integrated Reasoning (TIR) scenarios, a major source of inefficiency is that the toolcalls create pauses between LLM requests and cause KV-cache eviction. Also, the long, unfiltered response returned by external tools inflates the KV-cache, so each decode step spends more time...

While Unified Multimodal Models (UMMs) have achieved remarkable success in cross-modal comprehension, a significant gap persists in their ability to leverage such internal knowledge for high-quality generation. We formalize this discrepancy as Conduction Aphasia, a phenomenon where models accurat...

Diffusion Large Language Models (dLLMs) have recently become a promising alternative to autoregressive large language models (ARMs). Semi-autoregressive (Semi-AR) decoding is widely employed in base dLLMs and advanced decoding strategies due to its superior performance. However, our observations...
