D-cut: Adaptive Verification Depth Pruning for Batched Speculative Decoding

Speculative decoding accelerates large language model (LLM) inference without compromising output quality. Recent parallel drafting methods further improve single-request performance by decoupling draft length from drafting latency, enabling longer drafts and higher mean accepted tokens (MAT). However, under high request concurrency, long drafts waste substantial computation on rejected tokens, increasing verification cost and potentially making speculative decoding slower than autoregressive…
