DSpark-Inspired Speculative Decoding for On-Device Inference
DeepSeek's DSpark framework uses a small "draft" model to predict multiple
future tokens, which the main model then verifies in parallel. This gives
60-85% speedup with identical output quality (lossless).
This implementation adapts the DSpark approach for LiteRT-LM on mobile:
- Draft model: ultra-light (~30M params) n-gram + small transformer hybrid
- Verification: greedy acceptance (draft tokens kept if main model agrees)
- Falls back gracefully when draft is wrong
Key insight from DSpark paper (DeepSeek, 2026):
"Confidence-scheduled speculative decoding with semi-autoregressive generation"
- Draft model predicts K=4 tokens at once
- Main model verifies all K in a single forward pass
- Acceptance rate: ~85% for K=4
Usage:
from dspark_draft import DSparkDraftEngine
engine = DSparkDraftEngine(main_model, draft_model)
tokens = engine.generate("Hello, how are you?", max_tokens=128)
