The Small Drafter Kept the Full Context
AsymSpec lets a lightweight drafter see the complete input while the large verifier works from a compressed view.
Summary
AsymSpec lets a lightweight drafter see the complete input while the large verifier works from a compressed view.
Across four agentic capabilities and two end-to-end benchmarks, the authors report about 90 percent of full-context accuracy on average. On isolated text capabilities, the method delivered 1.3 to 1.7 times throughput at 0.2 to 0.3 times the compute cost, targeting cases where compression had discarded useful reasoning signals.
Why it matters
