Diffusion language models enable faster plan generation and repair for long-horizon agents

The Plan-and-Patch framework uses parallel unmasking for planning and infilling for repairs, outperforming autoregressive models in repair success and latency.

The authors introduce Plan-and-Patch, a framework that uses a diffusion language model (dLLM) to generate structured plans and repair them by infilling affected regions while preserving surrounding steps.

The authors proposed Plan-and-Patch, a plan-and-act framework using a single diffusion language model for both plan generation and repair.

Why this paper

From Amazon and University of Texas at Austin

In one line

Diffusion language models can generate and repair structured plans by infilling, achieving nearly double the repair success of autoregressive models.
