Speculative Decoding: The Only Lossless Speed Boost — and the One Question That Decides It

Speculative decoding accelerates LLM token generation up to 2x without changing the output. Learn how draft and verification models work together, why the process is mathematically lossless, and the single defining question (memory-bound vs. compute-bound) that dictates whether your inference stack will actually benefit.
