# 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)](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2401.15077) 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](../../../examples/offline_inference/spec_decode.py)

## Eagle Drafter Example

```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_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

```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=2,
    speculative_config={
        "model": "RedHatAI/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-speculator.eagle3",
        "draft_tensor_parallel_size": 2,
        "num_speculative_tokens": 2,
        "method": "eagle3",
    },
)

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:

* [RedHatAI/speculator-models](https://huggingface.co/collections/RedHatAI/speculator-models)
* [yuhuili/models](https://huggingface.co/yuhuili/models?search=eagle)

!!! warning
    If you are using `vllm<0.7.0`, please use [this script](https://gist.github.com/abhigoyal1997/1e7a4109ccb7704fbc67f625e86b2d6d) to convert the speculative model and specify `"model": "path/to/modified/eagle/model"` in `speculative_config`.
