What is missing. This record has no bottom line, key findings, reported figures, evidence dimensions. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Large language models (LLMs) have achieved state-of-the-art performance across a wide range of tasks, motivating two important aspects of deployment: inference efficiency and output provenance, which can be tackled by speculative sampling and watermarking, respectively. However, recent works have shown that combining these two goals is highly nontrivial and can be potentially impossible. In this work, we develop a novel multi-draft speculative sampling algorithm based on Poisson processes that improves the frontier of this fundamental trade-off. The proposed algorithm has strong sampling efficiency on its own and, more interestingly, is naturally watermarkable: we can embed an unbiased watermark without degrading speculative acceptance. Moreover, our algorithm is based on an exact list-coupling-without-communication scheme, which yields a drafter invariance property that benefits both sampling and watermarking. It is the first multi-draft, drafter-invariant speculative sampling scheme that maintains both watermark strength and sampling efficiency, and we experimentally verify its strong performance in both aspects.
