Self-Speculation

Self-Speculative Decoding for Large Language Model BF16 Inference using IPEX-LLM on Intel CPUs

You can use IPEX-LLM to run BF16 inference for any Huggingface Transformer model with self-speculative decoding on Intel CPUs. This directory contains example scripts to help you quickly get started to run some popular open-source models using self-speculative decoding. Each model has its own dedicated folder, where you can find detailed instructions on how to install and run it.
