This is interesting stuff. I wonder if these sorts of tricks are already in use at the big labs. Incidentally, I would recommend trying implementing speculative decoding yourself if you really want to understand LLM inference internals (that, and KV caching of course). I tried it over the Christmas holidays and it was a wonderful learning experience. (And hard work, especially because I forced myself to do it by hand without coding agent assistance.)
