    "SGLang now provides an EAGLE-based (EAGLE-2/EAGLE-3) speculative decoding option. Our implementation aims to maximize speed and efficiency and is considered to be among the fastest in open-source LLM engines.\n",

    "\n",
    "### Performance Highlights\n",
    "\n",
    "Please see below for the huge improvements on throughput for LLaMA-Instruct 3.1 8B tested on MT bench that can be archieved via EAGLE3 decoding.\n",

    "To enable EAGLE speculative decoding the following parameters are relevant:\n",
    "* `speculative_draft_model_path`: Specifies draft model. This parameter is required.\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 additionaly 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",
