Generative recommendation (GR) has shown great promise in industrial applications, particularly for candidate generation and end-to-end recommendations. However, existing GR training paradigms suffer from two fundamental mismatches with real-world deployment requirements. First, they optimize for point-wise prediction of a single ground-truth item, whereas practical systems must produce a diverse, high-value set of candidates. Second, they treat all user interactions as equally informative, ignoring their inherent differences in utility. Although reward-based fine-tuning offers a partial remedy, it often lacks token-level supervision. To address these challenges, we reformulate GR as a sequential set-generation problem and propose GFlowGR, a GFlowNet-based fine-tuning framework that explicitly aligns generation probabilities with item-level utilities. GFlowGR comprises three tightly integrated components, each addressing a key limitation of conventional fine-tuning: a trajectory sampler that constructs training trajectories from candidate sets to enable set-wise learning, a behavior-aware reward model that quantifies item utility to support value-aware optimization, and a GFlowNet objective that provides token-level supervision. Extensive experiments on three real-world datasets with two representative LLM-based GR backbones show consistent and significant improvements over strong baselines, validating the effectiveness of our approach. For real-world deployment, GFlowGR has been integrated into Taobao 's search advertising businesses, delivering a 0.4% relative improvement in annual revenue since its launch in mid-2025, corresponding to billion-level monetary gains.

Generative Recommendation (GR), powered by Large Language Models (LLMs), represents a promising new paradigm for industrial recommender systems. However, their practical application is severely hindered by high inference latency, making them infeasible for high-throughput, real-time services and limiting their overall business impact. While Speculative Decoding (SD) has been proposed to accelerate the autoregressive generation process, existing implementations introduce new bottlenecks: they typically require separate draft models and model-based verifiers, which require additional training and increase latency overhead. In this paper, we address these challenges with NEZHA, a novel architecture that achieves hyperspeed decoding for GR systems without sacrificing recommendation quality. Specifically, NEZHA integrates a nimble autoregressive draft head directly into the primary model, enabling efficient self-drafting. This design, combined with a specialized input prompt structure, preserves the integrity of sequence-to-sequence generation. Furthermore, to tackle the critical problem of hallucination—a major source of performance degradation—we introduce an efficient, model-free verifier based on a hash set. We demonstrate the effectiveness of NEZHA through extensive experiments on public datasets and have successfully deployed the system on Taobao since October 2025, achieving 1.2% business improvement, translating to billion-level advertising revenue and serving hundreds of millions of daily active users.
