Key points

  • It uses low-confidence tokens discarded during denoising as a lookahead signal for retrieval.
  • It is training-free, retriever-agnostic, and applicable to all discrete diffusion language models.
  • It exploits the fact that low-confidence tokens surface key entities before the output is complete.
  • It outperforms existing baselines on five multi-hop QA benchmarks.
  • It achieves up to 8x higher throughput than prior methods.
