Instead of generating tokens sequentially, the model computes several possible tokens in parallel. A smaller, faster "draft" model suggests likely next tokens, and a larger model validates and finalizes them.

So, we shouldn't be impressed by longer thinking times? Nice work!

Considering speculative decoding and the Johnson-Lindenstrauss: Reducing the dimensionality of the latent space (small model) could distort distances and lose crucial information from the large model. How can we mitigate this effect? Is it like expecting FLAC and getting an MP3?

Researchers found a way to make LLMs 8.5x faster! (without compromising accuracy) Speculative decoding is quite an effective way to address the single-token bottleneck in traditional LLM inference. A small "draft" model first generates the next several tokens, then the large model verifies all of them at once in a single forward pass. If a token at any position is wrong, you keep everything before it and restart from there. This never does worse than normal decoding. But current drafters in Speculative decoding still guess one token at a time. That makes the drafting step itself a bottleneck, capping real-world speedups at 2-3x. DFlash is a new technique that swaps the autoregressive drafter with a lightweight block diffusion model that guesses all tokens in one parallel shot. Drafting cost stays flat no matter how many tokens you speculate. On top of that, the drafter is conditioned on hidden features pulled from multiple layers of the target model and injected into every draft layer, so it makes significantly better guesses than a drafter working from scratch. In the side-by-side demo below, vanilla decoding runs at 48.5 tokens/sec. DFlash hits 415 tokens/sec on the same model, with zero quality loss. It's already integrated with vLLM, SGLang, and Transformers, with draft models on HuggingFace for several models like Qwen3, Qwen3.5, Llama 3.1, Kimi-K2.5, gpt-oss, and many more. I have shared the GitHub repo in the replies! KV caching is another must-know technique to boost LLM inference. I recently wrote an article about it. Read it below. 👉 Over to you: What use case are you working on that can benefit from this new technique?

PowerInfer - a high-speed inference engine for deploying LLMs locally. Just came across this super interesting project on speeding up inference. It's not MoE but it's a simple approach that exploits the high locality in LLM inference to design a GPU-CPU hybrid inference engine. Hot-activated neurons are preloaded onto the GPU for fast access, while cold-activated neurons (the majority) are computed on the CPU. This approach significantly reduces GPU memory demands and CPU-GPU data transfer. It achieves an average token generation rate of 13.20 tokens/s, with a peak of 29.08 tokens/s, across various LLMs on a single NVIDIA RTX 4090 GPU. It's on only 18% lower than that achieved by a top-tier server-grade A100 GPU. It also significantly outperforms llama.cpp by up to 11.69x while retaining model accuracy. There is a lot more innovation around inference that's coming fast. Really encouraged by the study on sparse computation to enhance the computational efficiency of LLMs. It's now possible to use PowerInfer with Llama 2 and Faclon 40B. Mistral-7B support is coming soon!

Today's autoregressive models generate one token at a time. Mercury 2 generates tokens in parallel. Over 1,000 tok/sec on standard GPUs, at comparable quality to speed-optimized models. Since launch, the community has been showing what diffusion LLMs can unlock. Thanks to the team at Clyep for the breakdown.

The example below is using prompt-based speculative decoding. Specifically, ngram hashing is utilized to suggest drafts of up to 64 tokens. The hasher keeps track of ngrams in the observed contexts, so mostly effective for coding tasks. Here is another demo:

New course: Transformers in Practice. You'll get a practical view of how transformer-based LLMs work, so you can reason about their behavior, diagnose problems like slow inference, and make smarter decisions about deployment. This course is built in partnership with AMD and taught by Sharon Zhou. You'll see how transformers generate text one token at a time, how the model decides which earlier words matter most when predicting the next one, and how techniques like quantization speed up inference on GPUs. This is not a video-only course; interactive visualizations throughout let you play with these concepts and build intuition that sticks. Skills you'll gain: - Understand why LLMs hallucinate, and RAG and chain-of-thought shape what they generate - Look inside the model to see how attention and layers combine to predict the next token - Diagnose inference bottlenecks and learn the techniques that speed up transformers on GPUs Join and understand what's really happening inside your LLMs:

A great tool to estimate how much VRAM your LLMs actually need. Alter the hardware config, quantization, etc., it tells you about: - Generation speed (tokens/sec) - Precise memory allocation - System throughput, etc. No more VRAM guessing!

As AI labs race to train and deploy new frontier models, existing models become more affordable with better tokenomics. ✨ "Everybody's trying to get to the next frontier. And every time they get to the next frontier, the last generation AI tokens, the cost starts to decline about a factor of 10x every year," said NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang in a recent keynote. Model optimization techniques such as speculative decoding and multi-token prediction, combined with inference serving platforms like NVIDIA Dynamo on NVIDIA Blackwell NVL72 systems, enable AI factories to boost throughput by 10x with one-tenth of the cost per token.
