FlashMap is a new speculative decoding drafter that replaces discrete diffusion with continuous flow maps to jointly generate token blocks in a single forward pass. It achieves up to 6.14x lossless speedup on Qwen3-8B, outperforming retrained DFlash by ~7% on average with half the parameters (0.5B vs 1B). Apache-2.0 weights and MIT code are now available with vLLM and SGLang support.

FlashMap Uses Continuous Flow Maps for Single-Pass Speculative Decoding
- Replaces discrete diffusion with continuous flow mapping to ensure block-level consistency in drafts
- Achieves up to 6.14x lossless speedup on Qwen3-8B, averaging ~7% faster than retrained DFlash
- Outperforms larger competitors with only 0.5B parameters; open-sourced with vLLM/SGLang support
