Summary

  • Auto-detection treated any slash-free dotted identifier string as a custom proposer import path.
  • Filenames like draft.pt / model.safetensors / eagle.weights incorrectly forced method=custom_class.
  • Exclude common weight and config suffixes from that heuristic.

Test plan

  • tests/config/test_speculative_custom_path.py

Dotted names like draft.pt matched the custom_class import heuristic and
forced method=custom_class. Exclude common weight/config suffixes.

Review Change Stack

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Corrected speculative decoding configuration so model weight and configuration filenames are no longer mistaken for custom proposer module paths.
    • Python module and class import paths continue to be recognized as custom proposer paths.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage verifying correct handling of weight filenames and custom proposer import paths.

Walkthrough

The change prevents dotted weight and configuration filenames from being classified as custom proposer import paths. Tests cover supported file extensions and valid Python module/class paths.

Changes

Speculative proposer path detection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Classify proposer paths and validate the behavior
vllm/config/speculative.py, tests/config/test_speculative_custom_path.py
_is_custom_proposer_path rejects supported weight and configuration file extensions before checking dotted Python import paths. Tests cover both filename and import-path cases.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5b9fc

The change correctly avoids treating common weight filenames as custom proposer paths, but custom proposer import paths with suffix-colliding final identifiers may no longer be auto-detected and can be configured as draft models. Clarify the explicit custom-class configuration requirement or preserve this import-path case before merge.

proposer paths case-insensitively, so suffixes such as .JSON and .PT remain

and ensure ModelConfig does not reinterpret these paths as draft model names;

Verified locally on head 969e4c4 (CPU host) — regression-proven and edge-checked.

Bug real on base (main): SpeculativeConfig._is_custom_proposer_path("draft.pt") returned True (["draft","pt"] both identifiers, no slash, no scheme) → __post_init__ auto-set method="custom_class" for what is a bare weight filename, sending the loader down the import path (Cannot import module 'draft' class of failure, same family as #48754/#51338). Executed on base: all three of the PR's filename cases → True.

Fix verified on head: the extension denylist returns False for draft.pt, model.safetensors, eagle.weights, config.json → inference falls through to the draft_model default. Case-insensitivity works (EAGLE.pt, Draft.PT → False, verified). Multi-dot suffix handling is sound (.npz.index literal in the tuple works; .safetensors.index.json → False via .json).

Regression-proven: transplanted the test file onto base → test_weight_filenames_are_not_custom_proposer_paths FAILS there (True == not expected) / PASSES on head; test_python_import_paths_still_detected passes on both. No regression surface: inference only runs when method is None, so anyone with a genuine custom module whose dotted name ends in a listed suffix can pass method=custom_class explicitly; real import paths (my_module.MyProposer, pkg.sub.Proposer) are unaffected.

Non-blocking residual gap (executed probe matrix on head): the denylist is open-ended — bare weight/config filenames with other common extensions are still misclassified as custom paths: qwen3.gguf → True, draft.h5 → True, draft.pkl → True, draft.hdf5 → True, draft.tar.gz → True, foo.bin.index → True. Since these are all CWD-relative existing-file scenarios, an os.path.isfile(model) check for slash-free names would close the whole class at once (an existing file is definitionally not an import path); alternatively extend the tuple with .gguf, .h5, .hdf5, .pkl, .tar.gz. Not blocking — the reported cases are fixed and strictly additive.
