How Quail classifies with a trie: constrained decoding that beats a vLLM baseline by ~1.8x
sh_reya · x · 2026-10-13
shreya details Quail's classification trick: labels are known up front, stored in a trie, decoding is constrained to trie paths and stops once one label remains; leftover decode steps are packed into other documents' prefill passes. Result: 1.8x faster than a vLLM baseline on 12 classification queries.
