Decoding Speculative Decoding
- Speculative Decoding is a technique used to speed up inference for Large Language Models (LLMs) without sacrificing quality.
- The performance gain provided by speculative decoding depends heavily on the choice of the draft model.
- A detailed study with LLaMA-65B and OPT-66B models reveals that the performance of speculative decoding is influenced by the latency of the draft model, not its capability in language modeling.
- Newly designed hardware-efficient draft models for speculative decoding can provide 111% higher throughput compared to existing models.

Lightning AI moves into the AI marketplace with ready-made enterprise applications
- Lightning AI, which develops AI and machine learning algorithms, has created a marketplace for ready-made enterprise applications known as Lightning AI Hub.
- Developers and other users can access pre-built AI applications that are ready to be deployed at the click of a button via non-code APIs. The Lightning AI Hub gives developers access to the various algorithms that power the application separately.
- The startup is hoping to solve the ‘last mile’ problem of generative AI deployment, where businesses have a problem putting AI into productive use.
- The AI Hub works similarly to app stores like Google and Apple and lets businesses discover applications with a reduced need for infrastructure facilities and coding to integrate supervision.
- Lightning AI CEO William Falcon spent the past year building the Lightning AI development platform to provide developers with cloud workspaces and tools for creating generative AI and machine learning models and apps.
- Customers can link applications on the Lightning AI Hub to their AWS and Google Cloud instances, ensuring the safety of their data.
- The marketplace is free for Lightning AI customers who get 15 monthly credits unless they get more credits or need to connect their own cloud environments.
- Competition includes the AWS Amazon BedRock service, which helps customers find and deploy foundation models, and Hugging Face, a platform that lists thousands of AI apps.
- The Lightning AI Hub’s rival marketplaces only list AI models, while Lightning AI offers complete AI systems that drive AI adoption.
- Lightning Ai’s launch provides a way for enterprises that have struggled to get AI into production to move beyond the prototyping phase, allowing them to access ready-built applications that don't require coding and infrastructure requirements.

Gemini 2.0 and LLMs Integrated with Apps
- Google has released v2.0 of its integrated virtual assistant, Gemini, to more people. Its reasoning model can display its "chain of thought" and perform multi-step thinking. It can undertake complicated requests and displays its thoughts, actions and solutions. The company has included various new and efficient models such For image and audio output, improved coding and performance, an economical Flash-Lite and more. Google seems to turn LLMs into actual products for personal and professional use integrated into their ecosystem.
- Google rolled out a preview of a reasoning version of Gemini 2.0 that can integrate with YouTube, Maps, and Search. The Gemini app supports extensions to other Google apps. Gemini’s app integrations are fully functional, integrated across the Google ecosystem, and expanding to third-party services as well.
- Unlike standard LLMs, Google's Gemini can undertake complex queries and display its chain of thought. There's no native Gemini iPad app, no deep link to begin a new chat on iOS and the photo service allows the attachment of just one image at a time.
- There's no doubt Google has been at work creating tools not only for primary personal use but for professional workflow use also.
- While ChatGPT has captured a lot of attention, it is Google's Gemini (and Siri, in the future) that will be the ecosystem to beat for Apple. Although there’s a long road ahead for Google to perfect Gemini on Apple platforms, there are no dealbreakers when it is fast, and conversations can be connected to other Google services.
- Google's new pricing structure to integrate with Gemini 2.0 is confirmed for third-party developers.
- All LLMs still hallucinate responses, and its 2.0 models are more than good enough for the search queries aimed at ChatGPT.
- Google Workspace users can be directly integrated with features such as Google Drive and Gmail.
- However, the Gemini app falls short of ChatGPT and Claude in terms of iOS/iPadOS user experience in several key areas.
- Undoubtedly, the "Siri LLM" may be Apple's greatest asset.
