The vLLM team published a new blog comparing MTP, EAGLE-3, DFlash, and DSpark among five speculative decoding methods. The key takeaway: there is no universal winner — the best choice varies with the model, workload, and speculation depth.
The post breaks down how the 5 methods work, how to enable and tune them in vLLM, and benchmarks them across Gemma, Qwen, Kimi and MiniMax on AMD Instinct MI300X and MI355X.
