This repository contains the epoch 8 (zero-indexed), global step 205000 snapshot from an online EAGLE3 draft-model training run for Qwen/Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507.

This is a speculative-decoding draft model. It is intended to be used together with the target model and is not a standalone chat or text-generation model.

Part of the Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507 EAGLE3 ShareGPT Checkpoints collection.

The training run did not configure an evaluation dataset or experiment tracker. No validation, acceptance-rate, or throughput metrics are reported for this checkpoint. The latest checkpoint is not necessarily the best checkpoint for every workload; compare checkpoints on representative prompts before deployment.

Architecture

The draft uses LlamaForCausalLMEagle3 with:

hidden size 2560;
intermediate size 9728;
32 attention heads and 8 key/value heads;
target vocabulary size 151,936 and draft vocabulary size 32,000;
one decoder layer and causal sliding-window attention of 256 tokens.

Usage with SGLang

bash

python3 -m sglang.launch_server \
  --model Qwen/Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507 \
  --speculative-algorithm EAGLE3 \
  --speculative-draft-model-path huluhuluu/Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507-EAGLE3-ShareGPT-epoch-8-step-205000 \
  --speculative-num-steps 3 \
  --speculative-eagle-topk 1 \
  --speculative-num-draft-tokens 4

The speculative tree settings above are starting values, not benchmark-derived recommendations for this checkpoint. Tune them for the serving workload and SGLang version.

Files

model.safetensors: EAGLE3 draft weights.
config.json: draft architecture and sliding-window configuration.
training_state.pt: optimizer, scheduler, epoch, global step, and training arguments for resuming training.

training_state.pt uses PyTorch pickle-based serialization and is not required for inference. Only deserialize it in a trusted environment. Prefer model.safetensors for inference.

Limitations

This checkpoint must be paired with the exact target-model family used for training.
It was trained on a cleaned local ShareGPT file; no public dataset revision was recorded.
No benchmark or safety evaluation artifacts were saved with the run.
Speculative-decoding gains depend on prompt distribution, generation settings, hardware, and serving software.
