## vLLM Speculation Methods
vLLM supports a variety of methods of speculative decoding. Model-based methods such as EAGLE, MTP, draft models, and MLP provide the best latency reduction, while simpler methods such as n-gram and suffix decoding provide modest speedups without increasing workload during peak traffic.

| EAGLE | High gain | Medium to high gain | Strong general-purpose model-based method. |
| MTP | High gain | Medium to high gain | Best when the target model has native MTP support. |
| Draft model | High gain | Medium gain | Needs a separate draft model. |
| Parallel Draft Model | High gain | Medium to high gain | Low draft model latency. |
| MLP speculator | Medium to high gain | Medium gain | Good when compatible MLP speculators are available. |
| N-gram | Low to medium gain | Medium gain | Lightweight and easy to enable. |
| Suffix decoding | Low to medium gain | Medium gain | No extra draft model; dynamic speculation depth. |
