MineDraft: A Framework for Batch Parallel Speculative Decoding

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2603.18016v1 Announce Type: cross Speculative decoding (SD) accelerates large language model inference by using a smaller draft model to propose draft tokens that are subsequently verified by a larger target model. However, the performance of standard SD is often limited by the strictly sequential execution of these drafting and verification stages. To address this, this paper proposes MineDraft, a batch parallel speculative decoding (PSD) framework designed to effectively hide drafting latency by overlapping it with verification.
