This research proposes the Parallel Decoder Transformer (PDT), a novel architecture designed to overcome the single-token-per-step limitation of standard autoregressive models by enabling intrinsic parallel generation across multiple causal frontiers. By utilizing independently parameterized decoder stacks and persistent plan-memory, the system allows concurrent development of document sections while maintaining factual consistency through rigorous supervision protocols. The paper currently presents the theoretical framework and design specifications rather than finalized empirical results, marking a significant step toward scalable long-form content synthesis in AI systems.
Parallel Decoder Transformer: Planner-Conditioned Latent Coordination for Model-Intrinsic Parallel Generation
arXiv:2512.10054v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Autoregressive language models expose one causal token frontier, even when the requested document contains sections that could be developed concurrently. Existing parallel-generation systems arrange external branches around an otherwise unchanged model. We instead formulate model-intrinsic parallel generation: a single trained architecture owns multiple causal frontiers and produces one next-token distribution for each frontier in every synchronized decoding round. The Parallel Decoder Transformer (PDT) retains a frozen shared lower knowledge trunk and replaces the upper trunk with three independently parameterized physical decoder stacks. A prompt-time set planner produces three unordered continuous outlines, each hard-routed to one decoder as persistent Plan-KV memory, while a finite product-quantized notes bus carries block-delayed latent messages among the decoders. Autoregression is preserved within each lane; same-round lane tokens are conditionally independent given the source, plans, private histories, and previously committed messages. We specify source-grounded supervision for long-form historical exposition with single-owner cited facts and token-aligned cross-lane dependencies, a composite objective, a staged curriculum, and preregistered causal evaluations: plan swap and removal, delayed-message ablation, a parameter-matched self-only control, dependency-token likelihood, and blinded human fact audits. The architecture and evaluation pipeline are implemented; scientific training and held-out evaluation are in progress. This paper presents the theory, design, and falsifiable protocol, not a positive empirical result.
