    "To enable EAGLE speculative decoding the following parameters are relevant:\n",
    "* `speculative_draft_model_path`: Specifies draft model. This parameter is required.\n",
    "* `speculative_num_steps`: Depth of autoregressive drafting. Increases speculation range but risks rejection cascades. Default is 5.\n",
    "* `speculative_eagle_topk`: Branching factor per step. Improves candidate diversity, will lead to higher acceptance rate, but more lead to higher memory/compute consumption. Default is 4.\n",
    "* `speculative_num_draft_tokens`: Maximum parallel verification capacity. Allows deeper tree evaluation but will lead to higher GPU memory usage. Default is 8.\n",

    "EAGLE process is as follows:\n",
    "\n",
    "- Within EAGLE the draft model predicts the next feature vector, i.e. the last hidden state of the original LLM, using the feature sequence $(f_1, ..., f_k)$ and the token sequence $(t_2, ..., t_{k+1})$. \n",
    "- The next token is then sampled from $p_{k+2}=\\text{LMHead}(f_{k+1})$. Afterwards, the two sequences are extended in a tree style—branching out multiple potential continuations, with the branching factor per step controlled by the `speculative_eagle_topk` parameter—to ensure a more coherent connection of context, and are given as input again.\n",
    "- EAGLE-2 additionally uses the draft model to evaluate how probable certain branches in the draft tree are, dynamically stopping the expansion of unlikely branches. After the expansion phase, reranking is employed to select only the top `speculative_num_draft_tokens` final nodes as draft tokens.\n",
    "- EAGLE-3 removes the feature prediction objective, incorporates low and mid-layer features, and is trained in an on-policy manner.\n",
    "\n",
    "This enhances drafting accuracy by operating on the features instead of tokens for more regular inputs and passing the tokens from the next timestep additionally to minimize randomness effects from sampling. Furthermore the dynamic adjustment of the draft tree and selection of reranked final nodes increases acceptance rate of draft tokens further. For more details see [EAGLE-2](https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.16858) and [EAGLE-3](https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.01840) paper.\n",
