Description

Arctic Inference’s Suffix Decoding (AISD) is a speculative-decoding variant that caches repeating suffixes and bulk-verifies them, shaving 2×-6× off raw decoding time and delivering roughly 2×–4× end-to-end speed-ups in vLLM-based workloads ([snowflake.com]1, [snowflake.com]2).

Because ART's wall time is often dominated by inference, adding Arctic Inference support could potentially speed up total training time dramatically.

Research direction

No ART files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the two linked Snowflake articles and locating ART's inference path; done means adding Arctic Inference Suffix Decoding support and validating its effect on ART training time.
