About
LookaheadDecoding is an open-source project designed to significantly accelerate Large Language Model (LLM) inference by breaking the traditional sequential dependency of token generation. This innovative approach utilizes a parallel decoding algorithm, eliminating the need for a draft model or a separate data store. Motivated by Jacobi decoding, LookaheadDecoding collects and caches n-grams from Jacobi iteration trajectories, enabling simultaneous processing of future tokens. The process is divided into a lookahead branch, which generates new n-grams within a defined window, and a verification branch, which validates promising candidates. This method has demonstrated substantial latency reductions, achieving speedups ranging from 1.5x to 2.3x on various datasets and models. The tool supports sampling and FlashAttention, and is implemented with an attention mask to maximize GPU parallel computing power, making it a valuable resource for optimizing LLM performance.
