Streaming Inference
An inference mode that allows large language models to output tokens incrementally as they are generated, rather than waiting for a complete sequence to be produced as in traditional autoregressive decoding. This approach is one of the key enabling technologies for real-time voice interaction applications.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Locally deployable speech models usually mean the weights have been quantized (e.g., 4-bit or 8-bit) and are combined with streaming chunked inference to control first-packet latency.
Streaming inference must read and write cache state at every time step; if the state tensors are large or the access pattern is non-contiguous, bandwidth pressure quickly turns into latency.
Streaming inference and incremental synthesis technologies can synthesize speech while generating text, reducing the user-perceived first-token latency.
Streaming inference architecture completely decouples the user's perceived latency from the total generation time and is the core architectural strategy for achieving low-latency TTS.
