Generative AI and Its Challenges in Autoregressive Code Generation The field of generative artificial intelligence has significantly impacted software development by automating various coding tasks, ranging from simple auto-completions to complex software solutions. However, traditional language models predominantly employ autoregressive methods, predicting one token at a time, which leads to inherent bottlenecks and latency issues. Particularly for coding applications, the slow sequential generation limits efficiency, posing challenges in real-time interactive environments or scenarios demanding immediate responses. Although existing speed-optimized models, such as GPT-4o and Claude 3.5 Haiku, have shown somewhat improved performance, the fundamental constraint of token-by-token generation persists, necessitating…
