The work proposes autonomous algorithm discovery and systems optimization aimed at closing that gap.", "body_md": "Speculative decoding accelerates memory-bound LLM decoding with a lightweight drafter, and parallel drafters extend this speedup by drafting a whole block in one forward pass. However, it remains unclear whether their released systems (stock) attain the full speedup that parallel drafting permits.
