What the brain wrote

Meta's MTIA chip (September production) will be optimized for speculative decoding workloads, leveraging the research convergence identified between custom inference silicon and speculative decoding techniques.

Reasoning

The confirmed research convergence (Meta Iris + POSTECH stacking + speculative decoding) plus Meta's MTIA production timeline creates a perfect timing window. Speculative decoding reduces memory bandwidth requirements—the exact bottleneck custom chips like MTIA can address. This would directly threaten Nvidia's GPU dominance for inference.

How this gets verified

Meta's MTIA architecture documentation or benchmarks show speculative decoding optimization at or before September production.
