A small draft model proposes tokens, and the full model checks them in parallel. The authors find that this benefit shrinks for models with big vocabularies, such as Llama-3-8B (128k tokens). They re-implemented EAGLE-2 in native C and CUDA to strip away Python and… 2. **[AutoReproduce: Automatic AI Experiment Reproduction with Paper Lineage](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhao-2025-autoreproduce-automatic-ai-experiment/)** *(2025 · 12 citations)* The paper addresses automatically reproducing AI experiments from a paper's text. This is difficult because papers often leave out implementation details that a field treats as common knowledge. The authors present AutoReproduce, a multi-agent system that works through three stages in order: it first reviews the… ## Co-authors here 12 of 15 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Xu Han](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xu-han/) ×2 - [Yuxuan Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yuxuan-li/) ×2 - [Ao Sun](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ao-sun/) - [Duzhen Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/duzhen-zhang/) - [Hao Zhou](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hao-zhou/) - [Jianyong Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jianyong-wang/) - [Jie Zhou](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jie-zhou/) - [Maosong Sun](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/maosong-sun/) - [Qi Shi](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/qi-shi/) - [Shuo Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/shuo-wang/) - [Weilin Zhao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/weilin-zhao/) - [Xuanle Zhao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xuanle-zhao/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/) ×2: [ACL 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2025/) ×2 ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 26 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [12 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/weilun-zhao/cited-by/).
