arXiv:2606. 00021v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Speculative Decoding (SD) accelerates Large Language Model (LLM) inference by employing a lightweight draft model to propose candidate tokens, which are verified in parallel by the target model, without compromising generation quality.
Speculative decoding accelerates generation by verifying multiple drafted tokens in a single target-model forward pass, reducing sequential decoding iterations. Model-free variants avoid auxiliary draft models by reusing text and model states already available during generation, but their speedup depends on the reliability of the constructed drafts.
arXiv:2607. 10661v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Speculative decoding has significantly accelerated Large Language Model (LLM) inference by alleviating memory-bound bottlenecks.
Speculative decoding has significantly accelerated Large Language Model (LLM) inference by alleviating memory-bound bottlenecks. However, traditional speculative decoding typically relies on auxiliary draft modules, incurring significant training and communication overhead.

arXiv:2605. 27390v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Speculative decoding accelerates Large Language Model inference through draft-then-verify generation, yet lightweight draft models face coupled efficiency and quality limitations: large-vocabulary output projection is costly, while limited draft capacity and static parameters reduce acceptance under specialized or shifting inputs.

arXiv:2603. 03305v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to generate executable outputs, JSON objects, and API calls, where a single syntax error can make the output unusable.
arXiv:2606. 04446v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Speculative decoding accelerates autoregressive large language model inference by drafting multiple tokens and verifying them in a single target-model forward pass.
arXiv:2606. 10768v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The success of Large Language Models in mathematical reasoning relies heavily on the generation of diverse and valid solution paths during the rollout phase.
arXiv:2606. 25987v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) attain remarkable surface fluency on code, yet they neither formally guarantee the syntactic validity of their output nor leverage the hierarchical structure defining the target language.
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. 02544v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion large language models (dLLMs) have recently emerged as a promising alternative to autoregressive (AR) LLMs, offering faster inference through parallel or blockwise decoding.
