Batch-Max: Higher LLM Throughput using Larger Batch Sizes and KV Cache Compression

Michael R. Metel, Boxing Chen, Mehdi Rezagholizadeh

Several works have developed eviction policies to remove key-value (KV) pairs from the KV cache for more efficient inference. The focus has been on compressing the KV cache after t…

Draft on the Fly: Adaptive Self-Speculative Decoding using Cosine Similarity

Michael R. Metel, Peng Lu, Boxing Chen +2

We present a simple on the fly method for faster inference of large language models. Unlike other (self-)speculative decoding techniques, our method does not require fine-tuning or…
