Publicación Speculative Decoding: The Art of Guessing Well

Speculative Decoding: The Art of Guessing Well Speculative decoding lets smaller models guess several tokens ahead while the larger model verifies them in parallel, reducing LLM inference latency without changing the final sampling distribution. From the acceptance math to Gumbel coupling, EAGLE-3, and multi-token prediction, the piece shows how increasingly sophisticated drafters make those guesses accurate enough to deliver real sp... https://astralord.github.io/posts/speculative-decoding-the-art-of-guessing-well/
