Context Before

Speculative Decoding

A different way LPUs could improve decode phase latencies is by accelerating a speculative decoding setup, where we deploy draft models or Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) layers onto LPUs.

Evidence

For a decoding step of context N tokens, adding k additional tokens during forward pass (a warm prefill of k new tokens) marginally increases the latency when k << N

Context After

② Atomic Claim

對具有 N 個 context tokens 的 decoding step 而言,若 k 遠小於 N,在 forward pass 中加入 k 個額外 token(即對 k 個新 token 做 warm prefill)只會小幅增加延遲。

請在 Properties 逐項確認:

  • 原文 → Atomic Claim 是否忠實
  • Atomic Claim → Semantic Frame 是否忠實
  • Canonical Entity mapping 是否正確
  • Epistemic mode 是否保留原文語氣
  • 最後選擇 review_action
