5d ago · 5 min read · Long-horizon reasoning is where production LLM agents tend to quietly break. A model can produce a plausible-looking chain of thought, accept a wrong intermediate answer, and continue building on that error for every step that follows. By the time th...

5d ago · 5 min read · Speculative decoding became the standard inference speedup technique through 2024 and 2025. The idea: a small draft model generates a sequence of candidate tokens, and a larger target model verifies them in parallel — accepting the longest valid pref...
