Follows #15251 (merged).

Summary

Second PR for #15250: EAGLE3 speculative decoding with disaggregated prefill/decode behind the KV router.

  • New nightly test_router_decisions_sglang_disagg_eagle in tests/router/test_router_e2e_with_sglang.py: 2 prefill workers on GPU 0, 1 decode worker on GPU 1, EAGLE3 on both sides. It uses the Qwen3-8B + Tengyunw/qwen3_8b_eagle3 pair.
  • On top of the existing checks (all requests go to the same prefill worker, and that worker is not a decode worker), it asserts the chain from the issue:
    • Worker and router KV hashes match. Requests 2 to 4 share a prefix with the previous request, so the test requires nvext.timing.kv_hit_rate > 0. With EAGLE, SGLang keys its radix cache by token bigrams, and the router has to align its hashes the same way. If they don't match, the overlap stays 0 while requests can still land on the same worker by chance, so we need to explicity use hit rate to verify the path works.
    • Decode keeps speculating after the KV and EAGLE state transfer. After the requests, the test scrapes the decode worker's /metrics with SGLangSpecDecodeMetricsPayload: spec_verify_calls_total > 0, and more than 1.2 tokens per verify step.
  • Harness changes (backend-agnostic parts go in common.py / e2e_harness.py, per tests/router/AGENTS.md):
    • SGLangProcess accepts extra_args.
    • _test_router_decisions_disagg takes a require_kv_hit flag, off by default.
    • run_disagg_router_decisions_test takes a post_check(prefill_workers, decode_workers) hook that runs while the workers are still up.

Fixes that also re-enable test_router_decisions_sglang_disagg

The EAGLE variant first failed the same way as the skipped non-EAGLE disagg test. Two causes, both in the test setup:

  1. Bootstrap server bound to loopback. SGLang 0.5.19 binds the KV bootstrap server to --host (default 127.0.0.1), but dynamo.sglang advertises the auto-detected local IP to decode workers. Decode got Connection refused. Fixed now by using 0.0.0.0.
  2. kv_transfer_estimated_latency_ms can legitimately be 0. Since fix(router): record SGLang prefill completion after stream ends #14968, SGLang prefill completion is recorded when the prefill stream ends. On the bootstrap path, decode runs in parallel and can emit its first token first, so the saturating difference is 0. The harness already has enable_bootstrap=True to skip this check. SGLang always takes the bootstrap path, so both SGLang disagg tests now pass it.

Where should the reviewer start?

test_router_decisions_sglang_disagg_eagle and the --host 0.0.0.0 line in SGLangProcess.

Validation

2x H200, SGLang 0.5.19:

  • Ran pytest tests/router/test_router_e2e_with_sglang.py -m gpu_2 -k disagg → 2 passed in 317 s.
    • test_router_decisions_sglang_disagg_eagle: all 4 requests went to one prefill worker; kv_hit_rate per request was 0.0 / 0.40 / 0.57 / 0.56.
    • Decode worker: sglang:spec_verify_calls_total = 238, 2.16 tokens per verify step.
    • test_router_decisions_sglang_disagg: all 4 requests went to one prefill worker; kv_hit_rate was 0.0 / 0.50 / 0.50 / 0.625.
    • Peak VRAM: 36.1 GiB on GPU 0 (two prefill workers), 18.2 GiB on GPU 1.
  • Negative control: with enable_eagle forced off in register.py (router hashes not bigram-aligned), the test fails as intended with Request 2: expected kv_hit_rate > 0 on a shared prefix, got 0.0, and request 2 goes to the other prefill worker.
  • Before the --host fix, the EAGLE test failed with the bootstrap Connection refused above. Before the enable_bootstrap change, the EAGLE and non-EAGLE tests both failed intermittently on kv_transfer_estimated_latency_ms > 0 ... got: 0.0.
  • Peak VRAM: about 36 GiB on GPU 0 (two prefill workers) and about 18 GiB on GPU 1, so the test carries h100. timeout(300) is about 3x the observed runtime. Like the other gpu_2 tests in this file, it does not carry profiled_vram_gib.
  • pre-commit run on the changed files: all hooks pass.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added an SGLang launcher for EAGLE3 speculative decoding with Qwen3-8B and its draft model. The launcher enables metrics, supports configurable HTTP and system ports, and can apply a GPU KV-token limit when configured.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for SGLang speculative decoding and disaggregated routing, including checks for accepted draft tokens and KV-cache hits.

livingshade and others added 3 commits September 23, 2026 22:54
Add an aggregated SGLang speculative decoding launch script and a nightly
serve test, mirroring the existing vLLM aggregated_spec_decoding case.

- launch/agg_spec_decoding.sh: Qwen3-8B with the Tengyunw/qwen3_8b_eagle3
  draft model (both ungated), metrics enabled.
- SGLangSpecDecodeMetricsPayload: asserts speculation actually ran
  (sglang:spec_verify_calls_total > 0) and that draft tokens are being
  accepted (generation_tokens_total / spec_verify_calls_total > 1.2), using
  cumulative counters rather than the windowed spec_accept_length gauge.

Address review feedback on the SGLang speculative decoding e2e:
- Add the required component marker (core) to aggregated_spec_decoding.
- Drop section banners in agg_spec_decoding.sh that only restate the
  commands; keep the --enable-metrics note.

Add test_router_decisions_sglang_disagg_eagle: the disagg router decisions
scenario with EAGLE3 speculation on both the prefill and decode workers
(Qwen3-8B + Tengyunw/qwen3_8b_eagle3, the pair from agg_spec_decoding.sh).

On top of the existing same-prefill-worker and true-disagg checks it asserts:
- nvext.timing.kv_hit_rate > 0 on each shared-prefix request, so the prefill
  worker's EAGLE (bigram) KV event hashes match the router's hashes.
- The decode worker ran EAGLE verify steps and accepted draft tokens after the
  KV and speculative state transfer (SGLangSpecDecodeMetricsPayload).

Harness: SGLangProcess takes extra_args, _test_router_decisions_disagg takes
require_kv_hit, and run_disagg_router_decisions_test takes a post_check hook
that runs while the workers are still up.

Also fix and re-enable test_router_decisions_sglang_disagg, which failed for
two reasons the EAGLE variant also hit:
- Disagg workers now pass --host 0.0.0.0, as launch/disagg.sh does. SGLang
  binds the KV bootstrap server to --host (default 127.0.0.1) while
  dynamo.sglang advertises the auto-detected local IP, so decode workers got
  connection refused and every request aborted.
- Both SGLang disagg tests pass enable_bootstrap=True. SGLang always takes the
  bootstrap path, where decode can emit its first token before prefill
  completion is recorded, so kv_transfer_estimated_latency_ms can be 0.

👋 Hi livingshade! Thank you for contributing to ai-dynamo/dynamo.

- Make SGLANG_EAGLE_ARGS["extra_args"] an immutable tuple (it lives in a
  module-level dict) and default SGLangProcess extra_args to ().
- Type-annotate the decode-worker metrics post_check.
- Document which nightly lane runs the test: it is marked h100 (peak ~36 GiB
  on the shared prefill GPU) and, like the other gpu_2 tests in the file, has
  no profiled_vram_gib, so it runs in sglang-h100-test's sequential stage.

…tency check

Spell out the SGLang bootstrap flow step by step and why the decode first
token can race ahead of the recorded prefill completion, which makes
kv_transfer_estimated_latency_ms exactly 0 and the > 0 check flaky.

Adds an SGLang EAGLE3 speculative-decoding launcher and serving test. Adds disaggregated router coverage that checks speculative-decoding metrics and KV hit rates.

Changes

SGLang EAGLE3 speculative decoding

Layer / File(s) Summary
Launcher and serving metrics
tests/utils/payloads.py, examples/backends/sglang/launch/agg_spec_decoding.sh, tests/serve/test_sglang.py
Adds an EAGLE3 launcher and a serving scenario for Qwen3-8B. The metrics payload checks for verify calls and requires the token-per-verify average to exceed its threshold.
Disaggregated router test support
tests/router/common.py, tests/router/e2e_harness.py, tests/router/test_router_e2e_with_sglang.py
Adds optional positive-KV-hit assertions and a post-check callback. SGLang workers accept extra arguments and bind to 0.0.0.0; the existing disaggregation test is enabled with bootstrap.
EAGLE3 disaggregated router test
tests/router/test_router_e2e_with_sglang.py
Adds an EAGLE3 router test that checks decode-worker metrics and KV hits for requests that share a prefix.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 123c9

The nightly test can pass without demonstrating draft-token acceptance. Correct the metric check to make that coverage reliable; the remaining merge risk is bounded.

@rmccorm4 @jain-ria After your approvals I had to merge main to resolve a conflict (one docstring line in tests/router/common.py, after #15251 landed; no code changes), which reset the approval. Could you re-approve when you get a chance? Thanks!
