//! Speculative Decoding
//!
//! Per spec §8.3: Speculative decoding with draft model for up to 3x speedup.
//! Reference: [6] Zheng et al. (2024) "SGLang: Efficient Execution of Structured LM Programs"
//!
//! ## Algorithm
//!
//! 1. Generate K speculative tokens with fast draft model
//! 2. Verify all K tokens with single forward pass of target model
//! 3. Accept tokens matching probability distribution
//! 4. Resample at first rejection point
//!
//! ## Benefits
//!
//! - Up to 3x speedup for greedy decoding
//! - Maintains output quality (mathematically equivalent)
//! - Reduces memory-bound bottleneck of autoregressive decoding
// Module-level clippy allows
#![allow(clippy::must_use_candidate)]
#![allow(clippy::return_self_not_must_use)]
#![allow(clippy::missing_errors_doc)]
