Pivot-SD: Efficient Self-Distillation for Masked Diffusion Language Models

Masked diffusion language models (dLMs) offer a promising parallel alternative to autoregressive models for complex reasoning. However, they face a distinct credit-assignment challenge, since a few commitments during denoising sharply reduce the uncertainty over the remaining masked positions and shape much of the resp...
