摘要
Visual autoregressive (AR) generation models have demonstrated strong potential for image generation, yet their next-token-prediction paradigm introduces considerable inference latency. Although speculative decoding (SD) has been proven effective for accelerating visual AR models, its "draft one step, then verify one step" paradigm prevents a direct reduction in the number of forward passes, limiting its acceleration potential. Motivated by the interchangeability of visual tokens, we explore verification skipping in the SD process for the first time to explicitly cut the number of target model forward passes, thereby reducing inference latency. By analyzing the characteristics of the drafting stage, we observe that verification redundancy and stale feature reusability are key factors to maintain generation quality while improving speed for verification-free steps. Inspired by these two observations, we propose a novel SD framework VVS to accelerate \underline \text v isual AR model via partial \underline \text v erification \underline \text s kipping, which integrates three complementary modules: (1) a verification-free token selector with dynamically truncation, (2) token level feature caching and reuse, and (3) fine-grained skipped step scheduling. Consequently, VVS reduces the number of target model forward passes by 2.8x relative to vanilla AR decoding while maintaining competitive generation quality, offering a superior speed-quality trade-off over conventional SD frameworks and revealing strong potential to reshape the SD paradigm.
