Researchers found a way to make LLMs 8.5x faster!(without compromising accuracy)Speculative decoding is quite an effective way to address the single-token bottleneck in traditional LLM inference.A small "draft" model first generates the next several tokens, then the large model verifies all of them at once in a single forward pass.If a token at any position is wrong, you keep everything before it and restart from there. This never does worse than normal decoding.But current drafters in Speculative decoding ...
