Speculative Decoding Handbook Explains Faster LLM Inference
A technical handbook explains how speculative decoding reduces autoregressive latency by having a cheaper proposer draft several tokens before the target model verifies them together. It covers greedy verification, exact sampling, acceptance rates, and the systems tradeoffs that determine real-world speedups.
