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

To verify the draft tokens, the main model only needs one warm prefill of k new tokens, at the latency cost of roughly a single decode step

② Atomic Claim

在驗證 draft tokens 時,主模型只需要對這 k 個新 token 執行一次 warm prefill,其延遲成本約等同一次 decode step。

⑤ Human Review

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
