When the DSpark paper came out[1] the next day we had folks attempting to implement, working together, validating their failures. Eventually their work being synthesized into a PR[1] that admits performance is not ideal. Something antirez alluded to in one of his videos (speculative decoding is a great boon, but mostly for large labs hosting and serving many requests at once, and maybe not so effective for local inference). There&#x27;s recent work into &quot;directional steering&quot;[3]…</p><p><a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2406.00045/">Paper and discussion history</a>.
