Researchers have developed a new method called Parent-Conditioned Drafting Tree (PCTree) to improve the efficiency of speculative decoding in large language models. This technique builds upon the DSpark model by transforming its linear drafting process into a tree structure, allowing for multiple parent-consistent continuations without retraining. PCTree leverages the existing Markov head to score alternative paths, optimizing the use of a fixed verification budget. Experiments on Qwen3 models across various benchmarks demonstrated speedup gains ranging from 3.1% to 29.5% compared to standard autoregressive decoding. AI
