arXiv:2610.31338v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Tree-based speculative decoding accelerates large language model inference by verifying multiple candidate branches in parallel. However, in practical serving scenarios, similar requests repeatedly induce overlapping candidate branches. While retrieval-based methods mitigate this by reusing historical drafts, the resulting candidate trees often contain many low-quality branches as the candidate tree grows, which reduces verification efficiency and wastes target-side computation. To address this, we propose ValuSpec, a plug-and-play candidate
