Speculative decoding boosts Jetson performance: Qwen 3.8 27B triples speed
JFPuget · x · 2026-08-20
NVIDIA demonstrates the impact of speculative decoding on edge devices like Jetson. Benchmarks show Qwen 3.8 27B increasing generation speed from 13 to 35 tokens/sec, and Nemotron 3.5 Lightning jumping from 65 to 115 tokens/sec. This method accelerates generative AI by using a smaller draft model validated by a larger one.
