BudgetDraft: Acceptance-Aware Multi-View Training for Sparse-KV Speculative Decoding

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.

KnapSpec: Self-Speculative Decoding via Adaptive Layer Selection as a Knapsack Problem

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.

Stochastic Sparse Attention for Memory-Bound Inference

arXiv:2605. 01910v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Autoregressive decoding becomes bandwidth-limited at long contexts, as generating each token requires reading all $n_k$ key and value vectors from KV cache.
