arXiv:2603.25702v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Block-diffusion language models offer a promising path toward faster-than-autoregressive generation by combining block-wise autoregressive decoding with within-block parallel denoising. However, in the few-step regime needed for…
arXiv:2606.18394v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Speculative decoding (SD) accelerates autoregressive Large Language Models (LLMs) by drafting multiple tokens and verifying them in parallel, but it faces a scaling limitation: increasing the draft budget improves speed only when ac…

Reinforcement learning (RL) has become a representative post-training paradigm for LLMs, enabling strong reasoning and agentic capabilities. However, rollout generation remains a dominant latency bottleneck because autoregressive sampling decodes responses sequentially and a smal…
EfficientRollout is a system-aware self-speculative decoding framework that accelerates reinforcement learning rollouts by adapting drafters to evolving policies and optimizing speculative decoding regimes.
Speculative decoding (SD) accelerates autoregressive Large Language Models (LLMs) by drafting multiple tokens and verifying them in parallel, but it faces a scaling limitation: increasing the draft budget improves speed only when acceptance remains high and drafting overhead stay…
arXiv:2512.22420v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Speculative decoding (SD) accelerates LLM inference by verifying draft tokens in parallel. However, this method presents a critical trade-off: it improves throughput in low-load, memory-bound systems but degrades performan…
<p><strong>TL;DR: We turned on speculative decoding in vLLM to cut latency on a fine-tuned 8B. Got a 1.9x throughput win. Three weeks later a customer flagged that the agent's tool-call arguments had subtly changed. Greedy decoding with a draft model is not bit-identical to greed…
