RACER: Retrieval-Augmented Contextual Rapid Speculative Decoding

Zihong Zhang, Zuchao Li, Lefei Zhang +2

Autoregressive decoding in Large Language Models (LLMs) generates one token per step, causing high inference latency. Speculative decoding (SD) mitigates this through a guess-and-v…

TrigReason: Trigger-Based Collaboration between Small and Large Reasoning Models

Yi Zhao, Yajuan Peng, Cam-Tu Nguyen +4

Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) achieve strong performance on complex tasks through extended chains of thought but suffer from high inference latency due to autoregressive reasoning.…

Scaling LLM Speculative Decoding: Non-Autoregressive Forecasting in Large-Batch Scenarios

Luohe Shi, Zuchao Li, Lefei Zhang +3

Speculative decoding accelerates LLM inference by utilizing otherwise idle computational resources during memory-to-chip data transfer. Current speculative decoding methods typical…
