We present the evaluation results on our own devices for reference. All models were evaluated uniformly on Spec-Bench using the same device and the testing environment. We report the mean speedup over 3 different runs and #mean accepted tokens per decoding step (which is 1.00 for vanilla autoregressive decoding).
❗️It is important to note that model speedup rates may differ across various devices. For more precise speedup metrics, we recommend conducting evaluations of specific models on your intended devices.
🤔 This is a gentle reminder that while speedup is the primary metric for assessing Speculative Decoding methods, other benefits are worth considering. For example, PLD and Lookahead require no extra parameters, making it simpler to integrate a wider range of models.
