Abstract:Speculative decoding (SD) accelerates LLM inference by $1.5$-$3$ times when the draft and target models are co-located. This has motivated a distributed variant (DSD) that places the draft model on an edge device while the target stays in the cloud. We show with closed-form inequalities that DSD's per-request latency benefit is limited under WAN edge-cloud communication. If the server can host both models, co-located SD has lower latency and communication than synchronous DSD, with the same per-output FLOPs and model-weight memory. Pipelining can make DSD competitive with co-located SD only in low-RTT regimes where the round trip is shorter than the edge drafting time window; at WAN RTTs, the cloud round trip remains too large for pipelined DSD to beat co-located SD. Against cloud autoregressive decoding, DSD can reduce latency only inside a bounded window given the target-model speed, acceptance rate, and RTT. DSD is also infeasible against closed-source APIs without a verifier-only interface. The main case for DSD appears in multi-tenant capacity. Under cross-client overlap, offloading draft compute lets a saturated cloud server sustain $(1 + \gamma\,t_d/t_v)$ times more concurrent clients at the same per-client rate, where $\gamma$ is the speculation length and $t_d, t_v$ are the per-step draft and verification times. DSD should therefore be evaluated primarily by multi-tenant capacity and server throughput, not only by single-request latency.
