Accelerating LLMs with Smarter Token Prioritization
Gumiho: A hybrid approach to optimize speculative decoding
Gumiho introduces a novel hybrid architecture that intelligently prioritizes early tokens in speculative decoding to significantly accelerate LLM inference.
- Combines serial and parallel processing for optimal token generation
- Prioritizes early tokens that have higher likelihood of being correct
- Achieves up to 1.6x speedup over baseline speculative decoding methods
- Offers flexible deployment options with minimal overhead
This engineering innovation addresses a critical bottleneck in LLM inference, potentially enabling faster and more cost-effective AI applications in production environments.
