Description

This could be used for LLMs and hopefully for encoder-decoder models like using the smaller NLLB coupled with the bigger NLLB models

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points, so begin by locating the model inference and decoding components relevant to CTranslate2. Done would mean speculative decoding support for LLMs, with encoder-decoder support such as pairing smaller and larger NLLB models clarified or explicitly scoped.
