A new study reveals a flaw in speculative decoding, a method used to speed up AI responses. This could impact how quickly and accurately AI models like chatbots work in the future.
Researchers extended the MLX-LM framework to enable cross-tokenizer speculative decoding, improving inference speed for Polish language models on Apple Silicon. The study evaluated Bielik-11B-Instruct paired with three draft models, showing significant speedups.

Researchers introduce DIVERSED, a new method that relaxes strict token verification in speculative decoding to significantly increase acceptance rates. This approach bypasses the bottleneck of rigid distribution matching, offering faster LLM inference without sacrificing output quality.
