Speculative decoding's rejection-sampling-based verification algorithm ensures that the output distribution is exactly equivalent to—rather than merely an approximation of—running the main model alone.

UnverifiedThe parallel verification mechanism of speculative decoding guarantees that the final output sequence distribution is exactly identical to sampling token by token from the target model alone, so it is lossless acceleration.79% similarUnverifiedPointwise verification scores each generated result independently, does not depend on other samples, and its output can be used directly as a reward, but absolute scores are hard to calibrate and the model easily learns to game the score.78% similarUnverifiedTraditional speculative decoding uses strict rejection-sampling-based verification rules, where a draft token is only accepted when it exactly matches the target model's sampled result.75% similarUnverifiedThe output of deterministic checks is fully predictable, does not rely on probabilistic reasoning, provides binary, reproducible signals, and does not consume model context.73% similarUnverifiedSpeculative decoding is a lossless acceleration technique whose output is mathematically fully equivalent to that of the original target model, because all tokens have been verified by the large model.72% similar
