In the slides on twitter you can see Jalapeno CAN do speculative decoding. In fact they explicitly mention how compute is disaggregated 3 ways now: prefill, predict, decode, and how a huge Jalapeno advantage is that it uses dark sillicon to switch between these without having to move the KV cache which remains local.
Then the article contradicts the slides because it states that OpenAI choose not to disaggregate prefill and decode. Idk you men with "predict"---conventional LLM serving comprises only two phases.
