vLLM reports Reflection's DFlash2 speeds up Beam decoding 1.72–3.03×
Overview
vLLM reports that Reflection's DFlash2 drafter speeds up Beam's decode path by 1.72× to 3.03× across GSM8K, MATH500, HumanEval, MBPP and MT-Bench at concurrency levels 1, 16 and 32.
On GSM8K the speedups are 3.03×, 2.51× and 2.75× at those levels.
The figures come from Reflection's tests in a disaggregated prefill/decode setup, and prefill time is excluded, so they measure decode only. Reflection also reports better throughput with K=7, although the drafter was trained with block size 16.
