# TAPS: Task-Aware Proposal Distributions for Speculative Sampling
|
| 10 |
+
|
| 11 |
+
This repository contains a draft model introduced in the paper [TAPS: Task Aware Proposal Distributions for Speculative Sampling](https://huggingface.co/papers/2603.27027).

## Overview
|
| 14 |
+
|
| 15 |
+
TAPS (Task-Aware Proposal Distributions) investigates how the training distribution of draft models affects the efficiency of speculative decoding. In speculative decoding, a lightweight draft model proposes future tokens that a larger target model (like Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct) verifies in parallel.
|
| 16 |
+
|
| 17 |
+
This model is a lightweight LLaMA-style drafter (approximately 0.8B parameters with 1 layer) designed to accelerate autoregressive generation. The research demonstrates that task-specific training (e.g., on MathInstruct or ShareGPT) yields significant specialization, and that specialized drafters are best combined at inference time using strategies like confidence-based routing or merged-tree verification.
