Speculative Macro Commit for Faster Tool-Using Agents

Read the original on arXiv AI →

Speculative Macro Commit (SMC) is a runtime technique for tool‑using language‑model agents that separates an authoritative actor model from a faster speculative drafter model. The drafter predicts and executes future action chains on a snapshot, storing recurring multi‑action patterns in a macro library. When the actor’s next tool call aligns with a drafted action, SMC commits the pre‑executed steps, reducing latency by up to 18.59% on certain benchmarks while maintaining accuracy.

Speculative Macro Commit for Faster Tool-Using Agents

Speculative Macro Commit (SMC) is a runtime technique that speeds up tool‑using language‑model agents by having a fast speculative drafter model predict and execute future action chains on a separate environment snapshot. The drafter’s predictions are matched against a macro library of recurring multi‑action skeletons; when the authoritative actor’s next tool call aligns with the first drafted action, SMC commits the remaining pre‑executed steps to the official trajectory. Experiments with Qwen3.5 models show that SMC maintains overall accuracy while cutting latency by up to 18.6% on telecom benchmarks and 44.9% on AppWorld compared to sequential execution.
