  • Recent advances in recommendation scaling laws have led to foundation models of unprecedented complexity. While these models offer superior performance, their computational demands make real-time serving impractical, often forcing practitioners to rely on knowledge distillation-compromising serving quality for efficiency. To address this challenge, we present SOLARIS (Speculative Offloading of Latent-bAsed Representation for Inference Scaling), a novel framework inspired by speculative decoding. SOLARIS proactively precomputes user-item interaction embeddings by predicting which user-item pairs are likely to appear in future requests, and asynchronously generating their foundation model representations ahead of time. This approach decouples the costly foundation model inference from the latency-critical serving path, enabling real-time knowledge transfer from models previously considered too expensive for online use. Deployed across Meta's advertising system serving billions of daily requests, SOLARIS achieves 0.67% revenue-driving top-line metrics gain, demonstrating its effectiveness at scale.
