Speculative Pre-Positioning: Decoding Stateful Sessions to the Next Decision Point Off the Critical Path

arXiv:2606. 29565v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A stateless inference server (vLLM, SGLang, TensorRT-LLM) idles between requests while the accelerator waits; a stateful session reclaims that idle time.

DraftExpert: Expansion-Aware Self-Speculative Decoding for End-Device MoE Inference

Large Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language models are attractive for end-device deployment because only a small subset of experts is active per token, but their routed expert weights often exceed accelerator memory. We target latency-critical single-user settings where routed experts are staged on demand from CPU memory to a GPU or from Flash to a mobile NPU.

Bole: Efficient Tree Speculation for Hybrid-Attention Language Models

arXiv:2608. 01651v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Hybrid-attention large language models combine full attention with recurrent linear attention to reduce long-context inference costs, yet their autoregressive decoding remains memory-bound.

Certified Speculative Execution for Untrusted AI Agents

arXiv:2606. 31023v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Hard-constrained sequential decision systems have no certified way to spend the test-time compute of modern AI: executing the multi-step drafts of a learned policy or a frozen LLM forfeits the feasibility guarantee a trusted solver provides, while invoking the solver at every step forfeits the speed the AI offers.
