specdec_bench already measures everything needed to describe how good a draft
checkpoint is -- per-position conditional and joint acceptance, an acceptance
length histogram, per-category means. It just never leaves the benchmark output
directory in a form a deployment can consume, so downstream tools guess instead.
Dynamo's simulator, for example, models every draft model in existence with one
hardcoded vector.
Emit a versioned speculation_profile.json so those numbers can travel with an
exported checkpoint.
Both acceptance conventions are published, explicitly named, because the two
known consumers disagree: dynamo's mocker wants conditional rates
(P(draft i+1 accepted | first i accepted)) while vLLM's synthetic rejection
sampler wants marginals (P(first i+1 all accepted)). Emitting one and letting a
consumer assume the other is a silent, plausible-looking failure.
Two conversion traps get a single implementation and explicit tests:
- acceptance length counts the target's bonus token, so draft position i maps
to length i+2, not i+1;
- the histogram is sparse while consumers need a dense vector of length K.
Each profile carries a self-check that mean accept length equals 1 + sum of the
marginals, which is the identity a bad offset would break. A failure is recorded
in the artifact and warned about rather than raised, so the discrepancy stays
inspectable.
accept_length_model records whether K may be extrapolated: chain-drafted methods
(EAGLE*) truncate cleanly, block-parallel ones (DFlash, DSpark) re-plan the whole
block when K changes and must be measured per K. max_supported_k publishes the
hard ceiling, since serving a block-parallel draft above its trained block size
is invalid rather than merely degraded.
Emission hangs off _process_lengths(), the single point where the acceptance
distribution is final and which AcceptanceRate, MTBench and SpecBench all route
through, so no variant can silently stop producing a profile. Runs without
--save_dir are unaffected.
Validated against nvidia/MiniMax-M2.7-DFlash: a histogram reproducing the AL of
3.05 published on that model card yields marginals [0.88, 0.70, 0.47] and
1 + sum = 3.05 exactly.

The first version of _speculation_profile_metadata() read K off --draft_length unconditionally and derived max_supported_k as block_size - 1. Both are wrong for DFlash, which is the method this profile is most needed for. Reading the engine wrappers: DFLASH is configured by --block_size, which both models/vllm.py and models/sglang.py forward as num_speculative_tokens / speculative_num_draft_tokens while ignoring --draft_length -- sglang.py emits an explicit warning saying so. Every other method uses --draft_length as speculative_num_steps. Labelling the vectors with K from the wrong flag would be silent and plausible, so derive it per method. max_supported_k now defaults to the measured K rather than block_size - 1. --block_size here is the number handed to the engine as num_speculative_tokens, which despite the shared name is not the trained dflash_block_size in the checkpoint config. specdec_bench cannot observe the real architectural ceiling, and publishing an unverifiable one is worse than publishing none.

Three points from CodeRabbit on NVIDIA#2247. Publish identifiers, not paths. The profile is intended to ship alongside a checkpoint, so serialising args.model_dir / args.draft_model_dir verbatim would bake internal cluster layout (/lustre/fsw/portfolios/...) into a public artifact, and an absolute path is not portable for a reader in any case. checkpoint_id() reduces a path to its trailing org/model, which is both the useful part and the HuggingFace-style id. configuration.json still records full paths for local debugging. Clear profile metadata when a run has no --save_dir. The metadata is class-level state (following the existing Metric.update_directory pattern), so an in-process second run -- the AR-vs-K sweep this schema is built for is exactly that shape -- could otherwise inherit the previous run's destination. Declare __all__. Not re-exported from specdec_bench/__init__.py as suggested: that module deliberately exposes only __version__ and must stay importable without modelopt (the vLLM container has no modelopt), so widening it would break its own convention. Noted inline so the omission reads as deliberate. Signed-off-by: Ye Yu <yeyu@nvidia.com>
The first real measurement (nvidia/MiniMax-M2.7-DFlash on MT-Bench, 30653 decode steps) failed the profile's own consistency check: 1 + sum(marginals) = 2.4733 against a reported 2.5467. The vectors were right; the mean was the wrong one. Average_AL averages per-request accept length over requests, weighting a short request the same as a long one. The acceptance vectors describe a per-*step* distribution -- both dynamo's mocker and vLLM's synthetic sampler draw a length per decode step -- so the identity was comparing incompatible quantities and would have flagged every real run. mean_accept_length is now computed from the acceptance-length histogram, which is what the vectors describe. The per-request figure is kept as mean_accept_length_per_request, since published model cards do not always state which mean they quote and the comparison is worth preserving. This also sharpens what the check guards. Both sides now derive from the same histogram, so the identity holds exactly whenever the published vector spans every observed acceptance length -- meaning what it actually detects is truncation: a num_speculative_tokens that understates the K the run used cuts the vector short and would otherwise silently describe a weaker draft than was measured. Given K is derived from CLI flags whose meaning varies by method, that is the failure mode worth catching. Test updated accordingly, plus one pinning both means on the real MiniMax histogram. Signed-off-by: Ye Yu <yeyu@nvidia.com>
ar_validate.py already measures acceptance position-by-position -- validate_online breaks on first rejection, so it walks exactly the longest-prefix distribution -- then collapses it into a scalar and prints it. Nothing downstream can consume that: not CI regression gating, not the export step, not a deployment. validate_online now also returns the per-step acceptance-length histogram, and --output_json writes the same speculation_profile.json schema specdec_bench produces. Two producers, one schema, for different moments: this one runs inside the training loop with no serving engine, so acceptance can be tracked as a checkpoint trains; specdec_bench measures the deployed engine. A consumer should not have to care which produced a profile. Verified on the real MiniMax-M2.7 DFlash histogram -- both emit byte-identical conditional [0.816082, 0.776577, 0.749591], marginal [0.816082, 0.633751, 0.475054] and mean_accept_length 2.924887. The conversion is reimplemented rather than imported, deliberately. specdec_bench's copy must stay importable without modelopt because it runs in engine containers where modelopt is absent -- the MiniMax measurement recorded modelopt_version: null -- and importing into modelopt from examples/ is not possible either. The shared piece is small and now pinned by tests on both sides; a third producer would be the point to extract it properly. validate_online's return arity changes from 2 to 3. It is not re-exported from any __init__, so it is not public API, and all three in-repo call sites are updated. --output_json is written before the --ar_lower_bound check: an out-of-bounds AR is still worth having on disk, and raising first would discard the measurement that explains the failure.

Correct the histogram semantics in the return contract.
On a rejected draft, the loop appends a target correction token but records 1 + accepted as the histogram length. The histogram therefore measures base-token-plus-accepted-drafts acceptance length, not all tokens emitted in the step. State that distinction so consumers do not use the histogram to reconstruct output-token counts.

Exercise the histogram returned by validate_online.
The all-accepted and all-rejected tests discard _hist. The new test validates arithmetic on a hand-written dictionary and never invokes validate_online. A histogram-collection defect can therefore pass this suite. Assert the returned histograms in the existing mocked validation tests, such as {3: 1} for all accepted drafts and {1: 2} for all rejected drafts.
As per path instructions, tests must “Exercise the behavior a test claims to validate.”

Two real bugs from review on NVIDIA#2313/NVIDIA#2315/NVIDIA#2316. dump_env() had been pulled out of the --save_dir branch by the earlier profile-metadata change, so configuration.json stopped being written for runs that requested it, and a run without --save_dir would have called dump_env(args, None, ...) -> os.makedirs(None). Restored to the branch it belongs in; the metadata reset stays in the else. Densification defaulted an absent acceptance length to 0.0. That is only correct past the maximum observed length. For a gap -- lengths 1 and 3 observed but not 2 -- P(len >= 2) still equals P(len >= 3), because no step ended at exactly 2. Filling the gap with zero understated acceptance and broke the AL identity while looking entirely plausible: exactly the silent-wrongness this schema exists to prevent. Marginals are now built as a proper survival function, walking lengths downward so a missing entry inherits the value above it, and conditionals are derived as ratios of consecutive marginals rather than read from the sparse per-length map. That also keeps the two vectors mutually consistent when a length was never observed. Verified the real MiniMax-M2.7 DFlash profile is bit-for-bit unchanged by the fix (its histogram is dense, so the old path happened to be right there), with new regression tests covering the gapped and empty cases.

…thod Three review points from NVIDIA#2313/NVIDIA#2315/NVIDIA#2316, all guarding against a profile that looks valid to a consumer but is not. Rates are validated at the public boundary. Both known consumers treat them as probabilities -- dynamo feeds them to rng.random_bool(), vLLM's synthetic sampler expects a survival function -- and neither validates, so a NaN or an out-of-range entry does not fail there, it produces nonsense acceptance. Rejected before serialization instead. An empty measurement no longer reports measured=true. Zero observed steps would otherwise advertise a draft that accepts nothing, which reads identically to a genuinely terrible draft. Block verification now withholds the vectors rather than publishing them. These rates describe longest-prefix verification, where acceptance stops at the first rejection. vLLM also offers block verification, which accepts or rejects a drafted block jointly and produces a different length distribution entirely; publishing the vectors under that method would invite a consumer to read them as longest-prefix data. They are set to null with an explicit vectors_unavailable_reason, while the histogram and mean -- which still describe something real -- are kept. Verified the real MiniMax-M2.7 DFlash profile is unchanged. Signed-off-by: Ye Yu <yeyu@nvidia.com>
If every sample failed, or osl was too small to produce a single decode step, the histogram is empty. Writing measured=true then advertises a draft that accepts nothing, which reads identically to a genuinely terrible draft. Warn and skip instead. Signed-off-by: Ye Yu <yeyu@nvidia.com>

Withhold validation results for block verification.
When verification_method="block", these lines correctly set the rate vectors to None. However, validation.mean_consistency and validation.marginal_monotonicity still use the derived longest-prefix marginal values. This can emit a passing validation result for vectors that the same profile declares undefined.
Skip rate derivation and set these validation fields to an explicit unavailable value when vectors_apply is false.

- 310, Update the validation result construction in the profile generation flow
to avoid deriving or reporting rate-based validation when vectors_apply is
false, including block verification. Set validation.mean_consistency and
validation.marginal_monotonicity to the established unavailable value in that
case, while preserving the existing derived marginal validation for applicable
vectors.

…ssed PERF401 (build the survival vector with a comprehension) and UP038 (X | Y in isinstance). Both were reported by CI's ruff but not by the locally cached pre-commit hook, whose ruff is older -- worth knowing when a change passes locally and fails in code-quality. No behaviour change; the real MiniMax-M2.7 DFlash profile is unaffected. Signed-off-by: Ye Yu <yeyu@nvidia.com>

What does this PR do?
Type of change: new feature
Stacked on #2247. That PR defines the
speculation_profile.jsonschema and produces one from a benchmark run; this adds a second producer that works inside the training loop, with no serving engine.ar_validate.pyalready measures acceptance position-by-position —validate_onlinebreaks on first rejection, so it walks exactly the longest-prefix distribution — and then collapses it to a scalar and prints it. Nothing downstream can consume that: not CI regression gating, not the export step (#2313), not a deployment.validate_onlinenow also returns the per-step acceptance-length histogram, and--output_jsonwrites the same schema specdec_bench produces.Why two producers. They cover different moments. This one needs only the model, so acceptance can be tracked as a checkpoint trains — which is what makes AR regression gating in CI possible. specdec_bench measures the deployed engine. A consumer shouldn't have to care which one produced a profile.
Verified on the real measured histogram from
nvidia/MiniMax-M2.7-DFlash— both producers emit byte-identical output:conditional_accept_rates[0.816082, 0.776577, 0.749591]marginal_accept_rates[0.816082, 0.633751, 0.475054]mean_accept_length2.924887Usage
python examples/speculative_decoding/scripts/ar_validate.py \ --model_path <ckpt> --steps 3 --osl 512 --per_category \ --output_json speculation_profile.jsonThat profile can then be attached at export time via
--speculation_profile(#2313).Testing
tests/unit/torch/speculative/plugins/test_hf_dflash.py— 48 pass, including the two existingvalidate_onlinecases updated for the new return arity, plus a new test pinning that the histogram and the scalarardescribe the same measurement (aris a per-step mean, so it must equal the histogram's step-weighted mean, and1 + sum(marginals)must equal both). That identity is what caught a real bug during PR #2247's development.Cross-producer agreement verified manually against the real MiniMax histogram, as tabulated above.

AcceptanceRateValidation.validate_online()returns 3 values instead of 2. It is not re-exported from any__init__.py, so it is not part of the public API surface, and all three in-repo call sites are updated. Flagging it explicitly in case you consider it public anyway; happy to switch to an opt-in flag or an attribute instead.CONTRIBUTING.md: ✅ — no new dependencies, stdlibjsononly.Additional Information
The duplicated conversion is deliberate, and I would value a maintainer view on it. specdec_bench's copy must stay importable without modelopt, because it runs in engine containers where modelopt is absent — the MiniMax-M2.7 DFlash measurement recorded
modelopt_version: nullin itsconfiguration.json. Importing into modelopt fromexamples/is not possible either. So the two producers each carry a small conversion, pinned by tests on both sides. A third producer would be the point to extract it into a shared location properly.--output_jsonis written before the--ar_lower_boundcheck: an out-of-bounds AR is still worth having on disk, and raising first would discard the measurement that explains the failure.Note CI
