New Explainer: Why Speculative Decoding Makes AI Faster

Original: Why Is Speculative Decoding Fast?

A new article by Jacob Barrow explains why speculative decoding speeds up large language model inference, walking through how a smaller draft model proposes tokens that a larger model verifies in parallel. The piece is drawing attention among machine learning engineers and researchers discussing practical ways to cut latency and inference costs for LLM applications.

Why now: Practitioners are actively looking for accessible explanations of inference optimization techniques as LLM deployment costs grow.
