How DiSA Accelerates Autoregressive Image Generation with Diffusion Step Annealing

The article introduces DiSA, a training‑free diffusion step annealing technique that dramatically speeds up autoregressive image generation by reducing diffusion steps in later generation phases while preserving high visual quality, and validates the method across several state‑of‑the‑art AR‑Diffusion models.

Early‑Stopping Self‑Consistency (ESC): Reducing Sampling Cost for Large Language Model Reasoning

Early‑Stopping Self‑Consistency (ESC) dynamically halts sampling once a sliding‑window answer distribution reaches zero entropy, cutting the number of required LLM reasoning samples by 34‑84 % across arithmetic, commonsense, and symbolic benchmarks while preserving accuracy and offering a theoretically‑bounded, robust, budget‑adaptive alternative to traditional Self‑Consistency.
