SchemaFill: Efficient LLM Tool Calling via Slot-Parallel Speculative Decoding
Quick summary
arXiv:2610.07086v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LLM agents interact with external systems by generating structured tool calls. Given a user request, conversational context, and a catalog of tool schemas, a tool-calling model must select tools and generate their arguments, potentially producing multiple calls in a single response. Standard autoregressive decoding generates these calls token by token, incurring substantial latency for requests involving multiple calls or many argument fields. The explicit argument structure offers opportunities for parallel generation, but later argument value
