SSSD: Simply-Scalable Speculative Decoding
Over the past year, Speculative Decoding has gained popularity as a technique for accelerating Large Language Model inference. While several methods have been introduced, most struggle to deliver satisfactory performance at batch sizes typical for data centers ($\geq 8$) and often involve significant deployment complexities. In this work, we offer a theoretical explanation of how Speculative Decoding can be effectively utilized with larger batch sizes. We also introduce a method that integrates seamlessly into existing systems without additional training or the complexity of deploying a small LLM. In a continuous batching setting, we achieve a 4x increase in throughput without any latency impact for short context generation, and a 1.7-2x improvement in both latency and throughput for longer contexts.

Sequoia: Scalable, Robust, and Hardware-aware Speculative Decoding
As the usage of large language models (LLMs) grows, performing efficient inference with these models becomes increasingly important. While speculative decoding has recently emerged as a promising direction for speeding u…
STree: Speculative Tree Decoding for Hybrid State-Space Models
Speculative decoding is a technique to leverage hardware concurrency to improve the efficiency of large-scale autoregressive (AR) Transformer models by enabling multiple steps of token generation in a single forward pass…
State Space ModelsSpecForge: A Flexible and Efficient Open-Source Training Framework for Speculative Decoding
Large language models incur high inference latency due to sequential autoregressive decoding. Speculative decoding alleviates this bottleneck by using a lightweight draft model to propose multiple tokens for batched veri…
RACER: Retrieval-Augmented Contextual Rapid Speculative Decoding
Autoregressive decoding in Large Language Models (LLMs) generates one token per step, causing high inference latency. Speculative decoding (SD) mitigates this through a guess-and-verify strategy, but existing training-fr…
DSD: A Distributed Speculative Decoding Solution for Edge-Cloud Agile Large Model Serving
Large language model (LLM) inference often suffers from high decoding latency and limited scalability across heterogeneous edge-cloud environments. Existing speculative decoding (SD) techniques accelerate token generatio…
