-# Speculative Decoding
-
-!!! warning
-    Please note that speculative decoding in vLLM is not yet optimized and does
-    not usually yield inter-token latency reductions for all prompt datasets or sampling parameters.
-    The work to optimize it is ongoing and can be followed here: <https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/issues/4630>
-
-!!! warning
-    Currently, speculative decoding in vLLM is not compatible with pipeline parallelism.
-
-This document shows how to use [Speculative Decoding](https://x.com/karpathy/status/1697318534555336961) with vLLM.
-Speculative decoding is a technique which improves inter-token latency in memory-bound LLM inference.
-
-!!! tip
-    To train your own draft models for speculative decoding, see [Speculators](speculators.md), a library for training draft models that integrates seamlessly with vLLM.
-
-## Speculating with a draft model
-
-The following code configures vLLM in an offline mode to use speculative decoding with a draft model, speculating 5 tokens at a time.
-
-!!! warning
-    In vllm v0.10.0, speculative decoding with a draft model is not supported.
-    If you use the following code, you will get a `NotImplementedError`.
-
-??? code
-
-    ```python
-    from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams
-
-    prompts = [
-        "The future of AI is",
-    ]
-    sampling_params = SamplingParams(temperature=0.8, top_p=0.95)
-

-
-!!! warning
-    Note: Please use `--speculative_config` to set all configurations related to speculative decoding. The previous method of specifying the model through `--speculative_model` and adding related parameters (e.g., `--num_speculative_tokens`) separately has been deprecated now.

-## Speculating using Suffix Decoding
-
-The following code configures vLLM to use speculative decoding where proposals are generated using Suffix Decoding ([technical report](https://arxiv.org/abs/2411.04975)).
-
-Like n-gram, Suffix Decoding can generate draft tokens by pattern-matching using the last `n` generated tokens. Unlike n-gram, Suffix Decoding (1) can pattern-match against both the prompt and previous generations, (2) uses frequency counts to propose the most likely continuations, and (3) speculates an adaptive number of tokens for each request at each iteration to get better acceptance rates.
-
-Suffix Decoding can achieve better performance for tasks with high repetition, such as code-editing, agentic loops (e.g. self-reflection, self-consistency), and RL rollouts.
-
-!!! tip "Install Arctic Inference"
-    Suffix Decoding requires [Arctic Inference](https://github.com/snowflakedb/ArcticInference). You can install it with `pip install arctic-inference`.
-
-!!! tip "Suffix Decoding Speculative Tokens"
-    Suffix Decoding will speculate a dynamic number of tokens for each request at each decoding step, so the `num_speculative_tokens` configuration specifies the *maximum* number of speculative tokens. It is suggested to use a high number such as `16` or `32` (default).

-    ```
-
-A few important things to consider when using the EAGLE based draft models:
-
-1. The EAGLE draft models available in the [HF repository for EAGLE models](https://huggingface.co/yuhuili) should
-   be able to be loaded and used directly by vLLM after <https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/pull/12304>.
-   If you are using vllm version before <https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/pull/12304>, please use the
-   [script](https://gist.github.com/abhigoyal1997/1e7a4109ccb7704fbc67f625e86b2d6d) to convert the speculative model,
-   and specify `"model": "path/to/modified/eagle/model"` in `speculative_config`. If weight-loading problems still occur when using the latest version of vLLM, please leave a comment or raise an issue.
-
-2. The EAGLE based draft models need to be run without tensor parallelism
-   (i.e. draft_tensor_parallel_size is set to 1 in `speculative_config`), although
-   it is possible to run the main model using tensor parallelism (see example above).
-
-3. When using EAGLE-based speculators with vLLM, the observed speedup is lower than what is
-   reported in the reference implementation [here](https://github.com/SafeAILab/EAGLE). This issue is under
-   investigation and tracked here: <https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/issues/9565>.
-
-4. When using EAGLE-3 based draft model, option "method" must be set to "eagle3".
-   That is, to specify `"method": "eagle3"` in `speculative_config`.

-## Lossless guarantees of Speculative Decoding
-
-In vLLM, speculative decoding aims to enhance inference efficiency while maintaining accuracy. This section addresses the lossless guarantees of
-speculative decoding, breaking down the guarantees into three key areas:
-
-1. **Theoretical Losslessness**
-   \- Speculative decoding sampling is theoretically lossless up to the precision limits of hardware numerics. Floating-point errors might
-   cause slight variations in output distributions, as discussed
-   in [Accelerating Large Language Model Decoding with Speculative Sampling](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2302.01318)
-
-2. **Algorithmic Losslessness**
-   \- vLLM’s implementation of speculative decoding is algorithmically validated to be lossless. Key validation tests include:
-
-    > - **Rejection Sampler Convergence**: Ensures that samples from vLLM’s rejection sampler align with the target
-    >   distribution. [View Test Code](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/blob/47b65a550866c7ffbd076ecb74106714838ce7da/tests/samplers/test_rejection_sampler.py#L252)
-    > - **Greedy Sampling Equality**: Confirms that greedy sampling with speculative decoding matches greedy sampling
-    >   without it. This verifies that vLLM's speculative decoding framework, when integrated with the vLLM forward pass and the vLLM rejection sampler,
-    >   provides a lossless guarantee. Almost all of the tests in [tests/spec_decode/e2e](../../tests/spec_decode/e2e).
-    >   verify this property using [this assertion implementation](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/blob/b67ae00cdbbe1a58ffc8ff170f0c8d79044a684a/tests/spec_decode/e2e/conftest.py#L291)
-
-3. **vLLM Logprob Stability**
-   \- vLLM does not currently guarantee stable token log probabilities (logprobs). This can result in different outputs for the
-   same request across runs. For more details, see the FAQ section
-   titled *Can the output of a prompt vary across runs in vLLM?* in the [FAQs](../../usage/faq.md).
-
-While vLLM strives to ensure losslessness in speculative decoding, variations in generated outputs with and without speculative decoding
-can occur due to following factors:
-
-- **Floating-Point Precision**: Differences in hardware numerical precision may lead to slight discrepancies in the output distribution.
-- **Batch Size and Numerical Stability**: Changes in batch size may cause variations in logprobs and output probabilities, potentially
-  due to non-deterministic behavior in batched operations or numerical instability.
-
-For mitigation strategies, please refer to the FAQ entry *Can the output of a prompt vary across runs in vLLM?* in the [FAQs](../../usage/faq.md).

+# Speculative Decoding
+
+This document shows how to use [Speculative Decoding](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2302.01318) with vLLM to reduce inter-token latency under medium-to-low QPS (query per second), memory-bound workloads.
+
+To train your own draft models for optimized speculative decoding, see [vllm-project/speculators](speculators.md) for seamless training and integration with vLLM.
+
+## vLLM Speculation Methods
+
+vLLM supports a variety of methods of speculative decoding. Model-based methods such as EAGLE, draft models, and mlp provide the best latency reduction, while simpler methods such as n-gram and and suffix decoding provide modest speedups without increasing workload during peak traffic.

+# Draft Models
+
+The following code configures vLLM in an offline mode to use speculative decoding with a draft model, speculating 5 tokens at a time.
+
+```python
+from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams
+
+prompts = ["The future of AI is"]
+sampling_params = SamplingParams(temperature=0.8, top_p=0.95)
+
+llm = LLM(
+    model="Qwen/Qwen3-8B",
+    tensor_parallel_size=1,
+    speculative_config={
+        "model": "Qwen/Qwen3-0.6B",
+        "num_speculative_tokens": 5,
+        "method": "draft_model",
+    },
+)
+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}")
+```
+
+To perform the equivalent launch in online mode, use the following server-side code:
+
+```bash
+vllm serve Qwen/Qwen3-4B-Thinking-2507 \
+    --host 0.0.0.0 \
+    --port 8000 \
+    --seed 42 \
+    -tp 1 \
+    --max_model_len 2048 \
+    --gpu_memory_utilization 0.8 \
+    --speculative_config '{"model": "Qwen/Qwen3-0.6B", "num_speculative_tokens": 5, "method": "draft_model"}'
+```
+
+The code used to request as completions as a client remains unchanged:
+
+??? code
+
+    ```python
+    from openai import OpenAI
+
+    # Modify OpenAI's API key and API base to use vLLM's API server.
+    openai_api_key = "EMPTY"
+    openai_api_base = "http://localhost:8000/v1"
+
+    client = OpenAI(
+        # defaults to os.environ.get("OPENAI_API_KEY")
+        api_key=openai_api_key,
+        base_url=openai_api_base,
+    )
+
+    models = client.models.list()
+    model = models.data[0].id
+
+    # Completion API
+    stream = False
+    completion = client.completions.create(
+        model=model,
+        prompt="The future of AI is",
+        echo=False,
+        n=1,
+        stream=stream,
+    )
+
+    print("Completion results:")
+    if stream:
+        for c in completion:
+            print(c)
+    else:
+        print(completion)
+    ```
+
+!!! warning
+    Note: Please use `--speculative_config` to set all configurations related to speculative decoding. The previous method of specifying the model through `--speculative_model` and adding related parameters (e.g., `--num_speculative_tokens`) separately has been deprecated.
