Summary
According to a post on X by @0xBakeer, an n-gram lookup drafter first tried in llama.cpp raised coding agents in his TandemEngine from 56 to 264 tokens per second. The post says the output stayed token-for-token identical. The technique is a speculative-decoding approach that the post describes as worth trying for repetitive agent traffic. The source is a single social post, so the result comes from the author's own setup rather than a formal report.

What happened
0xBakeer says an n-gram lookup drafter, first tried in llama.cpp, lifted coding agents in his TandemEngine from 56 to 264 tok/s with token-for-token identical output, a cheap speculative-decoding trick worth trying for repetitive agent traffic. Original post on X Section: Early Signals
Why it matters
Teams running coding agents on repetitive workloads could see large throughput gains if the technique holds up in their own setups. Builders may want to test it on their own traffic before relying on the reported numbers. Watch for independent benchmarks and whether the same gains appear outside the author's TandemEngine.
