This is a video explaining Speculative Decoding.
The goal of such methods is to accelerate LLM generation: a faster "draft model" guesses several tokens, which are then verified and corrected by a larger target model. This reduces inference latency while maintaining output quality. The original post doesn't dive into further details, but the clear topic is explaining the principles of speculative decoding.
