New speculative decoding methods boost LLM inference speed and efficiency · 6 sources tracked

Researchers have introduced DominoTree, a novel method for speculative decoding that significantly accelerates LLM inference by using a conditional tree-structured approach. This method achieves up to 6.6x speedup on Qwen3-4B models and demonstrates improved throughput over existing techniques like DDTree and CaDDTree. Concurrently, other research explores relaxed speculative decoding, investigating trade-offs between speed and capability, and introduces AdaptiveSD for robust, runtime-adaptive inference under CPU constraints. DSpark, another framework, unifies high-throughput parallel generation with adaptive verification, showing substantial improvements in accepted length and enabling significant speedups in real-world serving systems.
