Baseten describes a hybrid speculative-decoding mechanism that combines suffix-automaton lookup with MTP or EAGLE draft generation, choosing lookup when matches exceed a threshold. CUDA updates overlap KV-cache prefill and integrate with TensorRT, supplying a concrete inference optimization distinct from its existing general serving and distribution portfolio evidence.
