arXiv:2610.02800v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Speculative decoding accelerates autoregressive generation by using a lightweight draft to propose multiple tokens for parallel verification. However, existing methods often require an additional draft model or weight representation, introducing non-negligible memory overhead on resource-constrained devices. Self-speculative approaches reduce this overhead, yet still face trade-offs between draft quality, target quality, and storage efficiency. We propose BitNest, a bit-nested speculative decoding framework that embeds a low-precision draft direc
