## Speculating using EAGLE based 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)](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2401.15077) based draft model.
```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="meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct",
tensor_parallel_size=4,
speculative_model="path/to/modified/eagle/model",
speculative_draft_tensor_parallel_size=1,
)
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}")
```
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) cannot be
used directly with vLLM due to differences in the expected layer names and model definition.
To use these models with vLLM, use the [following script](https://gist.github.com/abhigoyal1997/1e7a4109ccb7704fbc67f625e86b2d6d)
to convert them. Note that this script does not modify the model's weights.
In the above example, use the script to first convert
the [yuhuili/EAGLE-LLaMA3-Instruct-8B](https://huggingface.co/yuhuili/EAGLE-LLaMA3-Instruct-8B) model
and then use the converted checkpoint as the draft model in vLLM.
2. The EAGLE based draft models need to be run without tensor parallelism
(i.e. speculative_draft_tensor_parallel_size is set to 1), 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](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/issues/9565).

## Lossless guarantees of Speculative Decoding
In vLLM, speculative decoding aims to enhance inference efficiency while maintaining accuracy. This section addresses the lossless guarantees of
