Up to 3.2x Faster Inference with LFM2.5-DSpark

Speculative decoding for LFM2.5 with published draft checkpoints: up to 3.2x faster decode and 57% lower function-calling latency at ~300M extra parameters, with greedy outputs unchanged by construction — a near-free latency win for on-device agent loops.

• speculative decoding — A speed trick where a small model drafts several tokens ahead and the big model verifies them in one pass, often doubling generation speed.
• inference — Running a trained model to get answers — the phase where AI is actually used, as opposed to trained.
• AI agent — An AI system that doesn't just answer once but works toward a goal in a loop — taking actions, reading the results, and deciding what to do next.
