Speculative decoding with co-located GPU execution of drafter and primary model eliminates cross-IP data transfers, achieving 2.2x faster inference on mobile hardware.

Summary
On-device LLM inference latency is a hard constraint for mobile UX. Native MTP support with optimized KV cache management means you can ship faster agentic features without rebuilding inference pipelines.

Implementation verdict
Replaces hand-rolled speculative decoding or slower runtimes like llama.cpp for Gemma 4 on Android/iOS. Requires Swift/Kotlin/JavaScript adoption and GitHub source access. Worth trying now if you're shipping Gemma 4 mobile—benchmarks are Google-attributed and the API is production-ready.
