Acceptance-Aware Draft Model Training for Speculative Decoding
Tianhua Xia, Mugilan Ganesan, Yifei Feng +3
Speculative decoding accelerates large language model (LLM) inference by using a lightweight draft model to generate multiple candidate tokens that are verified by the target model…
DREAM-S: Speculative Decoding with Searchable Drafting and Target-Aware Refinement for Multimodal Generation
Zining Liu, Yunhai Hu, Tianhua Xia +4
Speculative decoding (SD) has proven to be an effective technique for accelerating autoregressive generation in large language models (LLMs) however, its application to vision-lang…
CodeQuant: Unified Clustering and Quantization for Enhanced Outlier Smoothing in Low-Precision Mixture-of-Experts
Xiangyang Yin, Xingyu Liu, Tianhua Xia +5
Outliers have emerged as a fundamental bottleneck in preserving accuracy for low-precision large models, particularly within Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures that are increas…
Huff-LLM: End-to-End Lossless Compression for Efficient LLM Inference
Patrick Yubeaton, Tareq Mahmoud, Shehab Naga +8
As they become more capable, large language models (LLMs) have continued to rapidly increase in size. This has exacerbated the difficulty in running state of the art LLMs on small,…
