Efficient Training-Free Multi-Token Prediction via Embedding-Space Probing
Raghavv Goel, Mukul Gagrani, Mingu Lee +1
Large Language Models (LLMs) possess latent multi-token prediction (MTP) abilities despite being trained only for next-token generation. We introduce ESP (Embedding-Space Probing),…
ConFu: Contemplate the Future for Better Speculative Sampling
Zongyue Qin, Raghavv Goel, Mukul Gagrani +3
Speculative decoding has emerged as a powerful approach to accelerate large language model (LLM) inference by employing lightweight draft models to propose candidate tokens that ar…
Fast Forward: Accelerating LLM Prefill with Predictive FFN Sparsity
Aayush Gautam, Mukul Gagrani, Junyoung Park +3
The prefill stage of large language model (LLM) inference is a key computational bottleneck for long-context workloads. At short-to-moderate context lengths (1K--16K tokens), Feed-…
CAOTE: KV Cache Selection for LLMs via Attention Output Error-Based Token Eviction
Raghavv Goel, Junyoung Park, Mukul Gagrani +5
While long context support of large language models has extended their abilities, it also incurs challenges in memory and compute which becomes crucial bottlenecks in resource-rest…
VOCABTRIM: Vocabulary Pruning for Efficient Speculative Decoding in LLMs
Raghavv Goel, Sudhanshu Agrawal, Mukul Gagrani +9
In this paper, we introduce a simple training-free technique to improve the performance of drafter-based speculative decoding (SpD) methods that incorporates language modeling head…
