GLM-5.3-Flash-DFlash2

Blog | GitHub

This repository contains the DFlash 2 draft model for zai-org/GLM-5.3-Flash. It is not a standalone language model: it runs inside a speculative decoding server and drafts tokens for the target model to verify.

DFlash 2 is a block-diffusion drafter for speculative decoding. It predicts a whole block of tokens in a single pass and keeps the top candidates at every position. A lightweight selector then traces one coherent path through them. Two-tap dynamic convolutions in the backbone keep the draft from decaying toward the end of the block. Decoding is lossless: greedy output matches the target model exactly, and sampling preserves its distribution.

DFlash 2: parallel block drafting with a candidate path selector

Quick Start

Serve with SGLang:

pip install "sglang[all] @ git+https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang.git@refs/pull/36708/head#subdirectory=python"

sglang serve \
  --model-path zai-org/GLM-5.3-Flash \
  --trust-remote-code \
  --speculative-algorithm DFLASH \
  --speculative-draft-model-path incoai/GLM-5.3-Flash-DFlash2 \
  --speculative-draft-attention-backend fa4
