OpenAI Launches "Predictive Output," Boosting Model Speed by 4x!

OpenAI's "Predictive Output" boosts GPT-4o speed by 4x! Discover how speculative decoding reduces latency and optimizes AI performance in code generation and more.

The Speed Revolution of GPT-4o Has Arrived!

OpenAI has just announced a new feature called "Predictive Output," aimed at significantly reducing the latency of GPT-4o and GPT-4o-mini.

This feature sounds magical, but the name has left many developers confused.

Since all autoregressive outputs are essentially predictions, why emphasize predictive output? Are there any alternatives?

In fact, there's a clever technological innovation behind this.

Steve, a member of the OpenAI development team, explains:

"We use prediction for speculative decoding, which allows the model to validate large batches of inputs in parallel, instead of sampling tokens one by one!"
