      Speaker: Prof. Hongyang Zhang, University of Waterloo
      This talk presents the EAGLE series, a groundbreaking approach to accelerating large language model inference without compromising output quality. Instead of traditional token-level processing, EAGLE operates at the structured feature level and incorporates sampling results to reduce uncertainty. The technology has gained significant industry adoption, with integration into major frameworks including vLLM, SGLang, TensorRT-LLM, and several others from AWS and Intel.

      In this talk, we will discuss the lessons learned in building an efficient large language model deployment system for both server and edge settings. We will cover general techniques in machine learning compilation and system support for efficient structure generation. We will also discuss the future opportunities in system co-design for cloud-edge model deployments.
