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.
