arXiv:2607. 27269v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-head latent attention (MLA) is increasingly important for long-context LLM inference because compact latent states replace the growing key-value (KV) cache and reduce decoding memory traffic.
arXiv:2606. 24957v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While speculative decoding improves inference throughput for multi-batch long-context Large Language Models (LLMs), its efficiency is often limited by a verification bottleneck where Key-Value (KV) cache loading dominates latency.
arXiv:2606. 00144v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Speculative decoding speeds up autoregressive decoding by using a drafter to propose multiple tokens that a verifier validates in parallel.
arXiv:2605. 15250v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multi-head Latent Attention (MLA), the attention used in DeepSeek-V2/V3, jointly compresses keys and values into a low-rank latent and matches the H100 roofline almost perfectly.
arXiv:2607. 21535v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Speculative decoding accelerates autoregressive generation by having a cheap draft propose tokens that a target verifies in parallel.
arXiv:2606. 01019v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Model (LLM) generation remains expensive because autoregressive decoding calls the model once for each new token.
Speculative decoding accelerates autoregressive generation by having a cheap draft propose tokens that a target verifies in parallel. Frontier models increasingly ship a built-in Multi-Token-Prediction (MTP/NEXTN) draft head under the assumption that the draft is negligibly cheap.
arXiv:2604. 01029v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multi-LLM revision pipelines, in which a second model reviews and improves a draft produced by a first, are widely assumed to derive their gains from genuine error correction.
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.
arXiv:2606. 27732v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Discrete diffusion language models (dLLMs) recover masked tokens in parallel, offering significant speedups over autoregressive (AR) generation.
arXiv:2602. 20217v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Self-speculative decoding (SSD) accelerates LLM inference by skipping layers to create an efficient draft model, yet existing methods often rely on static heuristics that ignore the dynamic computational overhead of attention in long-context scenarios.
arXiv:2602. 05774v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Speculative decoding accelerates inference for (M)LLMs, yet a training-decoding discrepancy persists: while existing methods optimize single greedy trajectories, decoding involves verifying and ranking multiple sampled draft paths.
arXiv:2608. 05326v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autoregressive large language model inference is increasingly constrained by the memory footprint of the Key-Value (KV) cache.
