Speculative decoding boosts LLM efficiency with predict-and-verify

A new technique called speculative decoding allows large language models to generate text more efficiently by predicting ahead and then verifying. This method aims to reduce the computational cost of generating each token, which currently requires a full forward pass. By enabling LLMs to guess and check, the process could significantly speed up text generation. AI

IMPACT This technique could significantly reduce the computational cost of LLM inference, making them faster and more accessible.
