Draft model

Checkpoint

An EAGLE-3-style draft model for speculative decoding. It is not among the published weights: the pinned checkpoint’s tensor index names no MTP or draft tensor.

Weights
no pinned source shows them published
Sources1
Key
stage
tokens, log scale
a total no source states, computed from steps × batch × length
checkpoint
checkpoint, weights published
a join the sources leave unexplained
stages of a released model, folded into one row
derived
computed from reported values; the arithmetic is shown
not disclosed
no pinned source states it; nothing is filled in
