Lossless but Not Free: An Empirical Anatomy of Speculative Decoding on Consumer Hardware

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2607. 17283v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Single-stream autoregressive decoding of large language models is bound by memory bandwidth: each generated token requires one full forward pass through the target model, and successive passes cannot be parallelized.

DraftExpert: Expansion-Aware Self-Speculative Decoding for End-Device MoE Inference

Large Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language models are attractive for end-device deployment because only a small subset of experts is active per token, but their routed expert weights often exceed accelerator memory. We target latency-critical single-user settings where routed experts are staged on demand from CPU memory to a GPU or from Flash to a mobile NPU.

DSpark: Confidence-Scheduled Speculative Decoding with Semi-Autoregressive Generation

arXiv:2607. 05147v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Speculative decoding accelerates Large Language Model (LLM) inference by decoupling draft generation from target verification.
