Researchers are developing advanced techniques for speculative decoding to accelerate large language model (LLM) inference. One approach, X-CoSD, focuses on efficient communication between small on-device models and larger server models by handling vocabulary differences and minimizing data transmission. Another method, Osprey, leverages pre-trained small language models as drafters, adapting them to various target models with a lightweight process to improve acceptance rates and token generation speed. Additionally, a technique called Online Draft Co-Training is being explored to enhance drafter accuracy for reinforcement learning post-training, particularly for large models with long contexts, by optimizing attention mechanisms and inter-stage feature transport.
