MEDUSA: Detailed Explanation of the Mechanism
MEDUSA is an acceleration framework designed to optimize the inference process for large language models (LLMs), specifically targeting the decoding phase in text generation tasks. Its core innovation lies in leveraging multiple decoding heads, which can simultaneously generate multiple candidate outputs, significantly reducing the time required for inference.
