This looks really interesting, but needs more investigation.
Speculative decoding uses a smaller draft model to speed up a bigger one.

+++ Google's latest creature learns to read a million DNA letters and predict regulatory effects across 11 modalities at single-base resolution, which is less "breakthrough" and more "specialized models finally have a unified competitor worth taking seriously." +++
" Key results:
- Takes 1M base pairs of DNA as input, predicts thousands of functional genomic tracks at single-base-pair resolution
- Matches or exceeds best specialized models in 25 of 26 variant effect prediction evaluations
