Speculative Decoding — Implemented from Scratch

Paper: "Fast Inference from Transformers via Speculative Decoding"
       Leviathan et al., 2022 (https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.17192)

Core Idea:
  LLM inference is memory-bandwidth bound, not compute bound.
  A forward pass through a 70B model takes roughly the same GPU memory
  time whether you generate 1 token or process a batch of 8 tokens.

  Strategy:
  1. A small "draft" model generates K candidate tokens quickly (cheap)
  2. The large "verifier" model evaluates ALL K tokens in ONE forward pass
  3. Tokens are accepted or rejected based on their probability ratio
  4. Expected speedup = K * acceptance_rate (if acceptance_rate is high)

  Key property: the output distribution is IDENTICAL to running the
  large model alone. Speculative decoding is lossless — just faster.

  Token acceptance rule (the mathematically correct version):
    Accept token t if: rand() < min(1, p_verifier(t) / p_draft(t))

  This ensures the marginal distribution matches the target model exactly.

    Speculative decoding with the rejection sampling acceptance criterion.

    The algorithm:
    For each speculative step:
      1. Draft model autoregressively generates K tokens
      2. Verifier model evaluates the prompt + all K draft tokens in ONE pass
      3. For each draft token t_i, compute acceptance probability:
           α_i = min(1, p_target(t_i|context) / p_draft(t_i|context))
