Speculative decoding can achieve about a 3x speedup without quality loss on predictable tasks such as coding; its principle is that a small model predicts multiple tokens and then a large model verifies them, sharing the KV cache.

VerifiedSpeculative Decoding uses a small, fast draft model to predict multiple tokens in advance, which are then verified in parallel all at once by the large model.80% similarVerifiedThe combination of Multi-Token Prediction and speculative decoding can achieve a 2–4x inference speed improvement without compromising generation quality.79% similarUnverifiedSpeculative decoding technology, in which a local small model drafts answers and a large model verifies them, can improve overall throughput speed by 2 to 4 times without degrading quality.78% similarUnverified推测解码技术通过小模型预测草稿、大模型验证的方式加速生成，KV Cache共享机制降低重复请求的计算冗余77% similarUnverifiedHigh-speed token output typically relies on a combination of technologies including Speculative Decoding, KV Cache optimization, model parallel inference, and dedicated hardware acceleration.77% similar
