SpecPilot: AI Agent Framework Boosts Speculative Decoding 10.87x for Qwen3.8-27B

Researchers from UC Berkeley, Princeton, Stanford, and NVIDIA open-sourced SpecPilot, an AI agent framework that autonomously optimizes speculative decoding by iteratively identifying bottlenecks and applying techniques like W12 weight compression, best-first tree verification, and two-level verification, achieving 10.87x speedup for Qwen3.8-27B over autoregressive decoding.
