hao-ai-lab/LookaheadDecoding

• highreadme#1

  Emphasize 'no draft model' as a core differentiator in the README introduction

  Why:

  CURRENT

  We introduce lookahead decoding:
  - A parallel decoding algorithm to accelerate LLM inference.
  - Without the need for a draft model or a data store.
  - Linearly decreases #decoding steps relative to log(FLOPs) used per decoding step.

  COPY-PASTE FIX

  We introduce lookahead decoding: a parallel decoding algorithm to accelerate LLM inference. Unlike many other acceleration methods, Lookahead Decoding achieves significant speedups *without the need for a draft model or a data store*, linearly decreasing decoding steps relative to log(FLOPs) used per step.

  Add a concise comparison to common LLM inference acceleration methods

  Why:

  COPY-PASTE FIX

  Copy

  Compared to speculative decoding methods that rely on a draft model, Lookahead Decoding offers a unique, single-pass parallel approach. It achieves generation quality comparable to or better than beam search, but with significantly higher speed, often approaching that of greedy decoding, by using a fixed, shallow lookahead.
