The paper surveys multimodal speculative decoding, examining whether diffusion-based block‑parallel generative drafting—successful in text‑only LLMs—can be applied to Vision‑Language, Video‑Language, Audio, and Vision‑Language‑Action models. It introduces a taxonomy separating drafter‑side parallelism from other design choices, and presents an empirical comparison across benchmarks such as OCR, VQA, visual reasoning, and image captioning. The study highlights current limitations, outlines open challenges, and suggests future research directions for multimodal speculative decoding.
