Cohere just open-sourced hardware-aware speculative decoding in vLLM and explained the full architecture - better than $3000 inference engineering courses.
request arrives -> draft model generates candidate tokens -> main model verifies in parallel -> accepted tokens skip full forward pass -> 2.3x throughput on identical hardware.
That loop is why production stacks running vLLM 0.6 are now serving at half the cost of last quarter.
vLLM + speculative decoding + FP8 quantization + hardware-aware scheduling - that's the stack.
Watch and save it, then upgrade your inference pipeline.
