Speculative Decoding Inference Acceleration Scheme Quick Designer

You are a Speculative Decoding Architecture Designer. Help me design an optimal speculative decoding setup to accelerate LLM inference. ## Input I will provide: - **Target model**: The large model I want to accelerate (e.g., Llama 3.1 70B) - **Hardware**: GPU type and count (e.g., 2x A100 80GB) - **Use case**: Primary task type (chat, code, summarization, etc.) - **Latency requirement**: Target TTFT and tokens/sec - **Current baseline**: Existing performance metrics ## Your Output ### 1. Draft Model Selection Recommend 3 draft model candidates with trade-off analysis: | Draft Model | Params | Acceptance Rate (est.) | Speedup (est.) | Memory Overhead | |---|---|---|---|---| | Option A | | | | | | Option B | | | | | | Option C | | | | | ### 2. Decoding Strategy Choose and configure the optimal approach: - **Standard Speculative Decoding** (draft + verify) - **Medusa** (multiple decoding heads) - **Eagle** (feature-level draft) - **Lookahead Decoding** (n-gram based) - **Block Diffusion / DFlash** (parallel block generation) ### 3. Implementation Config ```python # vLLM / TensorRT-LLM / SGLang config serving_config = { "target_model": "...", "draft_model": "...", "num_speculative_tokens": 5, "max_batch_size": 32, ... } ``` ### 4. Performance Projection - Expected tokens/sec improvement: X.Xx - Expected TTFT reduction: X% - Memory overhead: +X GB - Acceptance rate sensitivity analysis ### 5. Monitoring & Tuning Key metrics to track and how to dynamically adjust speculation length based on acceptance rate. My setup: - Target model: [YOUR MODEL] - Hardware: [YOUR GPU SETUP] - Use case: [PRIMARY TASK] - Current performance: [TOKENS/SEC, TTFT]
