Purpose

load_dspark_model() unconditionally calls target_language_model.model. For a multimodal target whose get_language_model() already returns the inner decoder, there is no further .model (e.g. Muse Glimmer), so DSpark speculative decoding can't start at all.

My comment didn't make it in the original Muse Glimmer PR (#51655 (comment)) where this exact logic was added on the DFlash path.

Ultimate goal is to support DSpark together with Muse Glimmer.

Test Plan

vllm serve /models/Muse-Glimmer-30B-NVFP4 \
  --max-model-len 4096 --max-num-seqs 1 --gpu-memory-utilization 0.45 \
  --speculative-config '{"method":"dspark","model":"abstract-extraordinary/Muse-Glimmer-30B-DSpark","num_speculative_tokens":16}'

Test Result

Before

File "vllm/v1/worker/gpu/spec_decode/dspark/speculator.py", line 84, in load_draft_model
  model = load_dspark_model(target_model, self.vllm_config)
File "vllm/v1/worker/gpu/spec_decode/dspark/utils.py", line 61, in load_dspark_model
  target_inner = target_language_model.model
AttributeError: 'MuseGlimmerModel' object has no attribute 'model'

After

Resolved architecture: Qwen3DSparkModel
speculative_config=SpeculativeConfig(method='dspark', num_spec_tokens=16)
Application startup complete.
SpecDecoding metrics: Mean acceptance length: 4.90, Accepted: 113 tokens, Drafted: 464 tokens
