Speculative decoding is a technique designed to accelerate the text generation speed of large language models on resource-constrained devices. This method involves a smaller, faster draft model proposing multiple tokens ahead, which are then verified by the larger, primary model in a single pass. This approach is particularly effective on memory-bound hardware, such as the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano, as it significantly reduces the number of times model weights need to be read from memory, thereby increasing token generation speed without altering the output's statistical properties.
