+"""
+Usage:
+***Note: for speculative execution to work, user must put all "gen" in "assistant". Show in "assistant" the desired answer format. Each "gen" term should have a stop token. The stream mode is not supported in speculative execution.
+E.g. 
+correct: 
+    sgl.assistant("\nName:" + sgl.gen("name", stop="\n") + "\nBirthday:" + sgl.gen("birthday", stop="\n") + "\nJob:" + sgl.gen("job", stop="\n"))
+incorrect:
