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.

The paper introduces DCOCO (DFlash Contextual Corrector), a lightweight mechanism that restores intra-block dependencies in speculative decoding by evaluating multiple candidate tokens for contextual compatibility across adjacent draft positions. DCOCO maintains parallel drafting while enabling contextually informed token selection at low additional cost. Across multiple verifier backbones and benchmarks, DCOCO achieves the highest average throughput, delivering speedups of up to 6.6× over vanilla decoding and outperforming competing methods by 6–23% under concurrent serving loads.
