abstract

The acceleration of Large Language Models (LLMs) with speculative decoding provides a significant runtime improvement without any loss of accuracy. Currently, EAGLE-2 is the state-of-the-art speculative decoding method, improving on EAGLE with a dynamic draft tree. We introduce Dynamic Depth Decoding (DDD), which optimises EAGLE-2's tree drafting method using a dynamic depth. This extends the average speedup that EAGLE-2 achieves over EAGLE by $44\%$, giving DDD an average speedup of $3.16$x.

  1. Utility-Driven Speculative Decoding for Mixture-of-Experts

    cs.DC 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Cascade is a utility-driven speculation manager that makes speculative decoding practical for MoE LLMs by disabling it when expert-activation cost exceeds token gain and hill-climbing to the best speculation length.

  2. Consultant Decoding: Yet Another Synergistic Mechanism

    cs.CL 2025-06 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Consultant Decoding speeds up LLM generation by accepting draft tokens whose negative log-likelihood under the target model falls below a fixed threshold, reaching 2-3x speedups with comparable quality.
