Context-Sharded Block Parallelism (CSBP) speeds up long-context Diffusion LLMs via clean context sharding & block load balancing—up to 7.59× speedups! 🚀 Open-sourced in Turbo-dLLM. W/ @TarunSures41845 @hangoo_kang @PranshuChatur11 @ishanskhare @KumbongHermann @Azaliamirh
Diffusion LLMs and speculative decoding promise much faster agents. Yet agents need long contexts, and training on them is painfully slow. Introducing Context-Sharded Block Parallelism (CSBP), a new distributed parallelism strategy unlocking significant training efficiency for diffusion LLMs, with speedup gains growing with context length 🚀 ⚡ 7.59× faster DFlash2 speculative decoding drafter training ⚡ 1.61× faster block diffusion fine-tuning ⚡ 1.33× faster autoregressive → block diffusion adaptation With the same GPU hours, models trained with CSBP score higher on SWE-bench Verified and Terminal-Bench Lite 👑 Open-sourced in Turbo-dLLM, our new optimized distributed training library. Advised by @Azaliamirh and with an amazing team: @PranshuChatur11 @hangoo_kang @pshroff_ @ishanskhare @KumbongHermann
