Accelerating decode-heavy LLM inference with speculative decoding on AWS Trainium and vLLM

AWS explains how speculative decoding accelerates decode-heavy large language model (LLM) inference on AWS Trainium2. This technique reduces the cost per generated token by optimizing the decoding process. The post details implementation using the vLLM library for improved efficiency.
