Researchers have introduced ResiSpec, a new framework designed to enhance the efficiency of speculative decoding in Large Language Models (LLMs). Speculative decoding typically uses a smaller model to predict future tokens, which are then verified by the main LLM. However, a phenomenon called Residual Drift can occur, where rejected candidates cause the model's predictions to diverge, leading to costly resampling. ResiSpec addresses this by reforming the proposal distribution during verification, effectively anchoring the residual target mass and preventing candidate obsolescence. This method has demonstrated up to a 1.92x speedup compared to existing multi-candidate speculative decoding techniques. AI
