speculative decoding actually worth it - cacheline - 10-12-2026

Did a bit of testing and thought I'd post the result here.

I tried this with Phi using TensorRT-LLM on mini PC. The headline result was better than I expected, but tokens/sec still ended up being the limiting factor.

Happy to post more details if anyone wants them.
