Introducing our Speculative Decoding Engine Builder integration for ultra-low-latency LLM inference

What's this blog post about?

With the introduction of our Speculative Decoding Engine Builder integration, developers can now add speculative decoding to their production LLM deployments as part of a streamlined TensorRT-LLM Engine Builder flow, allowing for ultra-low-latency inference. This integration is particularly useful for latency-sensitive LLM applications, such as live translation, chatbots, and coding assistants, where best-in-class performance is required without compromising output quality. By using our pre-optimized config files or further tuning settings according to their needs, developers can leverage state-of-the-art model performance optimizations for their mission-critical production AI workloads. The integration has been shown to halve latencies with no effect on output quality and provides a two-tiered approach that balances ease of use with control over parameters, making it an ideal solution for applications using large models in production.
