These notes link each claim to its source. Some citations identify archived research reports that are no longer hosted on this site. A published reference means the content is available; it does not certify independent review or accuracy.Read the editorial policy and follow the sources before relying on a claim.
Measurements and reference values
- On memory-bandwidth-bound local hardware like Apple Silicon M5 Max, speculative decoding and MTP boost effective generation throughput by 20% to 40% without modifying output token probabilities. (high confidence) [source]
Facts and statements
- Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) generates candidate future tokens in parallel and verifies them in a single transformer forward pass, amortizing weight memory reads across multiple accepted tokens. (high confidence) [source]
Children
- No children recorded.
