Speculative execution refers to sending requests to both large and small models simultaneously, accepting the small model's result if quality meets the standard and discarding the large model's result; however, this introduces additional computational resource waste and is only worth considering in latency-extremely-sensitive scenarios.

UnverifiedSpeculative execution draws on branch prediction technology from modern CPUs, trading a small amount of redundant computation for reduced latency.73% similarUnverifiedSpeculative decoding is a lossless acceleration technique that does not alter the model's output distribution; it uses a draft model with far fewer parameters than the target model to generate candidate tokens, which the target model then verifies in parallel.73% similarUnverifiedStrategies for cost and latency optimization include result caching, parallel execution of tasks with no dependencies, and model tiering.72% similarVerifiedThe Cascading model strategy first has a small model handle requests, and when confidence falls below a threshold, it automatically escalates to a large model for reprocessing, in order to maximize cost efficiency.72% similar
