Each step is limited by memory bandwidth, so most of the GPU's compute sits idle. Speculative decoding helps, but it needs a draft model, which is hard to train and often fails to transfer across base models or datasets. The authors propose Lookahead Decoding… 2. **[Deep Think with Confidence](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/fu-2025-deep-think-confidence/)** *(2025 · 61 citations)* Parallel reasoning with self-consistency (sampling many chains of thought and taking a majority vote) improves LLM accuracy, but it is costly and its gains flatten as more traces are added. ## All works 3 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1.
