Hardware-aware framework accelerates large language models without additional training

As large language models (LLMs) become increasingly embedded in chatbots, virtual assistants, translation services, coding tools and other AI-powered applications, delivering responses quickly and efficiently has become a growing challenge. Because these models generate text one token at a time, inference can be slow and computationally expensive, particularly for larger models. While speculative decoding has emerged as a promising approach to accelerate inference, many existing methods either require additional model training or struggle to perform consistently across different hardware platforms.
