Diffusion models are built around this type of internal lookahead from the start (accurate near prediction, progressively less accurate far prediction, step forward, repeat). They just do it in the coarse-to-fine direction, i.e. in a different dimension, and had more thought put into shortcuts and speed-accuracy tradeoffs in this process. RL is also used with both types of models. It's not immediately obvious that one must necessarily be more efficient.
