What would you do if the acceptance rate on production...

A low acceptance rate indicates a distribution mismatch between the draft model and the target model for specific traffic slices. The remediation process involves a systematic approach: first, perform granular profiling to isolate the affected prompt categories. Then, either improve the draft model through fine-tuning or distillation on the target domain, or dynamically adjust the speculation parameters, such as reducing the number of drafted tokens (K) to avoid the overhead of failed speculations.
