How Speculative Decoding Makes LLMs 2.5x Faster. Is This the Secret to Faster AI?

The cutting-edge GPUs powering these models, while immensely powerful, spend too much time idly waiting. The models work sequentially, generating one token (a word or piece of a word) at a time, a process that’s akin to a slow-moving assembly line. This means even with considerable computational power, there’s a surprising inefficiency at play. This […]
