EAGLE Draft Models¶

The following code configures vLLM to use speculative decoding where proposals are generated by an EAGLE (Extrapolation Algorithm for Greater Language-model Efficiency) based draft model. A more detailed example for offline mode, including how to extract request level acceptance rate, can be found in examples/offline_inference/spec_decode.py

Eagle Drafter Example¶

from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams

prompts = ["The future of AI is"]
sampling_params = SamplingParams(temperature=0.8, top_p=0.95)

llm = LLM(
    model="meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct",
    tensor_parallel_size=4,
    speculative_config={
        "model": "yuhuili/EAGLE-LLaMA3-Instruct-8B",
        "draft_tensor_parallel_size": 1,
        "num_speculative_tokens": 2,
        "method": "eagle",
    },
)

outputs = llm.generate(prompts, sampling_params)

for output in outputs:
    prompt = output.prompt
    generated_text = output.outputs[0].text
    print(f"Prompt: {prompt!r}, Generated text: {generated_text!r}")

Eagle3 Drafter Example¶

from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams

prompts = ["The future of AI is"]
sampling_params = SamplingParams(temperature=0.8, top_p=0.95)

llm = LLM(
    model="meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct",
    tensor_parallel_size=2,
    speculative_config={
        "model": "RedHatAI/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-speculator.eagle3",
        "draft_tensor_parallel_size": 2,
        "num_speculative_tokens": 2,
        "method": "eagle",
    },
)

outputs = llm.generate(prompts, sampling_params)

for output in outputs:
    prompt = output.prompt
    generated_text = output.outputs[0].text
    print(f"Prompt: {prompt!r}, Generated text: {generated_text!r}")

Pre-Trained Eagle Draft Models¶

A variety of EAGLE draft models are available on the Hugging Face hub:

Warning

If you are using vllm<0.7.0, please use this script to convert the speculative model and specify "model": "path/to/modified/eagle/model" in speculative_config.
