fix(spec_decode): backport independent draft RNG from upstream #54282 - #653
Conversation
…roject#54282 Adapt upstream vllm-project/vllm commit fe755c8 for Jovian Judgement. Preserve compact MTP prefill outputs, MRoPE, per-token draft-logit caching, and local DFlash2/DSpark call sites. Extend BF16 proposal and fixed/clamped-position tests. Original fix by Giancarlo Delfin; JJ adaptation and additional regression coverage by MadeBy561 with Codex assistance. Prior R25 GPU results are not fresh-head qualification. Co-authored-by: MadeBy561 <madeby561@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Codex <noreply@openai.com> Signed-off-by: MadeBy561 <madeby561@gmail.com>
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change separates draft and target Gumbel noise streams. It tracks draft sampling positions independently from forward positions and updates speculative decoder integrations and tests for these semantics. ChangesDraft sampling correctness
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to No concrete runtime, correctness, or availability risk remains from the sampling-stream changes. The remaining API documentation update is non-blocking. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Document the required is_drafting parameter.
gumbel_sample has no Google-style docstring. Add an Args: entry that defines the draft noise-stream behavior and a Returns: section.
As per coding guidelines, Python docstrings must use Args: and Returns: sections.

Included in Source validation: replaying all 32 R35 review heads on the pinned base exactly reproduces the released Docker's vLLM tree; all 6,870 installed tracked files match. JJ additionally preserves Luke's DS4.1 work and #734. The final composition passed 247 focused checkpoint/scheduler, sampler/warmup and native GPU tests. This is combined-source evidence, not a fresh performance or full-model qualification for this individual PR. Publication-history clarification: the individual merge linked above is in JJ's first-parent history. It replaces the receipt's archived wrapper-merge reference; GitHub's historical merge SHA may still identify that archive. See #731 for component review order and qualification limits. |

Ready for review/testing. Validation on the exact refreshed PR head is pending.
Why this matters
Speculative decoding lets a fast draft suggest tokens, then the main model
checks them. When rejecting a suggestion, the old code reused the random
numbers that helped choose it—like rerolling with loaded dice. That biased
the final token choices away from the main model's intended probabilities.
This backports Giancarlo Delfin's upstream vLLM #54282.
The original author is preserved. Our work is the JJ adaptation and additional
tests, not inventing the fix.
How we proved it
We fed the actual GPU draft/rejection code a known three-token distribution.
For 131,072 trials at depth 3 / temperature 1:
The original error was far beyond expected sampling noise. The corrected
results fit the expected distribution across the tested cases.
107 GPU tests passed, including BF16 proposals and context-boundary cases.
Value: correct token probabilities—not a promise of higher acceptance or
better answers on every prompt.
Raw distributions, runnable reproducer, full configuration and serving results.
Scope and testing
Prior rig: GLM-5.3-Flash-NVFP4, TP4/DCP1, Marlin MTP3; 4× RTX PRO 6000
Blackwell Max-Q, 300 W/card, +6000 memory OC, zero core OC.
Combined router + sampling results: Estonia 30/30, LAVD 30/30, GSM8K 64/64;
MMLU-Pro 49/64, tools 8/16. Normal thinking was retained. These do not isolate
this PR. Warm verifier speed was approximately unchanged; warm C1 output
and Sieve median were 4.3% and 3.9% lower, respectively.
Current-head pre-commit and diff checks passed. Pending: exact-head GPU
suite, isolated sampling-only model A/B, cache repeats and broader backend
testing. Production was untouched.
