QSpec: Speculative Decoding with Complementary Quantization Schemes (2025.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Quantization is widely adopted to accelerate inference and reduce memory consumption in large language models. |
| Approach: | They propose a quantization paradigm that decouples efficiency from quality by integrating two complementary schemes via speculative decoding. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach achieves 1.64x speedup without quality degradation and outperforms state-of-the-art speculative decoding methods by 1.55x in batched settings. |
