The Coming Evolution of LLM Inference: Distributed Speculative Decoding Breaks the Single-Node Bottleneck
Large language models are hitting a wall: decoding latency is crippling real-world applications, and existing acceleration techniques can't scale beyond a single machine. A new research framework called DSD proposes a radical solution???distributing the speculative decoding process itself across edge and cloud devices???promising to fundamentally reshape how we deploy AI.
