SPECTRE: Hybrid Ordinary-Parallel Speculative Serving for Resource-Efficient LLM Inference

ArXi:2605.08151v1 Announce Type: cross LLM serving platforms are increasingly deployed as multi-model cloud systems, where user demand is often long-tailed: a few popular large models receive most requests, while many smaller tail models remain underutilized. We propose \textbf{SPECTRE} (Parallel \textbf{SPEC}ulative Decoding with a Multi-\textbf{T}enant \textbf{RE}mote Drafter), a serving framework that reuses underutilized tail-model services as remote drafters for heavily loaded large-model services through speculative decoding.
