Now I read it as the whole story, hiding in plain sight. The perimeter wasn't compromised because, increasingly, nobody bothers attacking it. Why would they, when the back door is propped open by a token nobody's looked at since the engineer who set it up left the company? That's the pattern I want to walk thr

Boost Inference Performance up to 15x on NVIDIA Blackwell Using DFlash Speculative Decoding

As AI systems move from single-turn interactions to coordinated multiagent workflows, low-latency inference becomes increasingly important. Autoregressive LLMs... As AI systems move from single-turn interactions to coordinated multiagent workflows, low-latency inference becomes increasingly important. Autoregressive LLMs generate tokens sequentially, which can limit GPU utilization and constrain throughput in latency-sensitive serving scenarios. Speculative decoding helps mitigate this bottlenec
