What does this PR do?

Type of change: new feature

Stacked on #2247 — that PR produces speculation_profile.json from a benchmark run; this one carries it into the exported checkpoint. Review #2247 first; the diff here is scoped to the export path.

A measured acceptance profile is only useful if it reaches the deployment. Today it stops in the benchmark output directory, so downstream consumers guess instead — dynamo's simulator models every draft model in existence with one hardcoded acceptance vector ([0.85, 0.3, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0]). This attaches the measurement to the export, next to the weights.

export_speculative_decoding() gains an optional speculation_profile path, plumbed through scripts/export_hf_checkpoint.py as --speculation_profile.

The exporter transports a profile; it does not build one. That split is forced by where measurement actually happens: acceptance is measured by a benchmark harness that commonly runs in an engine container without modelopt installed. The nvidia/MiniMax-M2.7-DFlash measurement ran under vllm/vllm-openai:nightly, where configuration.json recorded modelopt_version: null. The producer therefore cannot import from this side, so this side stays a carrier — it validates the file is JSON carrying a schema_version, and copies it in.

For the same reason the version is recorded rather than checked against a constant. Producers own the schema; pinning an expected version here would create a second source of truth that drifts.

With no profile supplied, an unmeasured stub is written, so consumers can distinguish "not measured" from "predates the schema" — absent then means a genuinely old checkpoint rather than an ambiguous one.

Hooked in export_speculative_decoding() rather than inside each exporter's export(): one call site covers Eagle, EagleMedusa, DFlash, Domino and DSpark, so a newly added method cannot silently ship without a profile.

Usage

# 1. measure (examples/specdec_bench, #2247) -> speculation_profile.json
# 2. attach at export:
python examples/speculative_decoding/scripts/export_hf_checkpoint.py \
    --model_path <trained ckpt> --export_path <out> \
    --speculation_profile <run>/speculation_profile.json
<out>/
  config.json
  model.safetensors
  speculation_profile.json      <-- new

Testing

7 new unit tests in tests/unit/torch/export/test_speculation_profile_export.py: verbatim copy of a supplied profile, stub written when none supplied, hard error on a missing file, rejection of JSON that isn't a profile (dict without schema_version, a list, a bare string), and a future schema_version passing through untouched.

Also verified end-to-end by round-tripping the real measured profile for nvidia/MiniMax-M2.7-DFlash (conditional [0.816, 0.777, 0.750], AL 2.925 — reproducing that card's published 3.05 to within 4.1%) through the exporter byte-identically.

pre-commit passes (ruff, ruff-format, mypy, bandit, license headers).

Before your PR is "Ready for review"

  • Is this change backward compatible?: ✅ — new optional parameter; existing exports gain one small extra file.
  • If you copied code from any other sources or added a new PIP dependency, did you follow guidance in CONTRIBUTING.md: ✅ — no new dependencies, stdlib json only.
  • Did you write any new necessary tests?: ✅
  • Did you update Changelog?: ❌ — happy to add an entry alongside specdec_bench: emit speculation_profile.json alongside acceptance metrics #2247 if maintainers want one.
  • Did you get Claude approval on this PR?: ❌ — not yet run.

Additional Information

Design context and the measurements behind it are written up in the nmm-sandbox design doc docs/design/modelopt-specdec-for-dynamo.md.

One open question worth a maintainer view: the stub currently records "schema_version": null since no producer has stamped it. An alternative is to omit the stub entirely and let absence mean "unmeasured" — but that loses the ability to distinguish an unmeasured export from a checkpoint predating the schema, which is why it is written this way.

specdec_bench already measures everything needed to describe how good a draft
checkpoint is -- per-position conditional and joint acceptance, an acceptance
length histogram, per-category means. It just never leaves the benchmark output
directory in a form a deployment can consume, so downstream tools guess instead.
Dynamo's simulator, for example, models every draft model in existence with one
hardcoded vector.

Emit a versioned speculation_profile.json so those numbers can travel with an
exported checkpoint.

Both acceptance conventions are published, explicitly named, because the two
known consumers disagree: dynamo's mocker wants conditional rates
(P(draft i+1 accepted | first i accepted)) while vLLM's synthetic rejection
sampler wants marginals (P(first i+1 all accepted)). Emitting one and letting a
consumer assume the other is a silent, plausible-looking failure.

Two conversion traps get a single implementation and explicit tests:
  - acceptance length counts the target's bonus token, so draft position i maps
    to length i+2, not i+1;
  - the histogram is sparse while consumers need a dense vector of length K.

Each profile carries a self-check that mean accept length equals 1 + sum of the
marginals, which is the identity a bad offset would break. A failure is recorded
in the artifact and warned about rather than raised, so the discrepancy stays
inspectable.

accept_length_model records whether K may be extrapolated: chain-drafted methods
(EAGLE*) truncate cleanly, block-parallel ones (DFlash, DSpark) re-plan the whole
block when K changes and must be measured per K. max_supported_k publishes the
hard ceiling, since serving a block-parallel draft above its trained block size
is invalid rather than merely degraded.

Emission hangs off _process_lengths(), the single point where the acceptance
distribution is final and which AcceptanceRate, MTBench and SpecBench all route
through, so no variant can silently stop producing a profile. Runs without
--save_dir are unaffected.

Validated against nvidia/MiniMax-M2.7-DFlash: a histogram reproducing the AL of
3.05 published on that model card yields marginals [0.88, 0.70, 0.47] and
1 + sum = 3.05 exactly.

The first version of _speculation_profile_metadata() read K off --draft_length
unconditionally and derived max_supported_k as block_size - 1. Both are wrong for
DFlash, which is the method this profile is most needed for.

Reading the engine wrappers: DFLASH is configured by --block_size, which both
models/vllm.py and models/sglang.py forward as num_speculative_tokens /
speculative_num_draft_tokens while ignoring --draft_length -- sglang.py emits an
explicit warning saying so. Every other method uses --draft_length as
speculative_num_steps. Labelling the vectors with K from the wrong flag would be
silent and plausible, so derive it per method.

max_supported_k now defaults to the measured K rather than block_size - 1.
--block_size here is the number handed to the engine as num_speculative_tokens,
which despite the shared name is not the trained dflash_block_size in the
checkpoint config. specdec_bench cannot observe the real architectural ceiling,
and publishing an unverifiable one is worse than publishing none.

Three points from CodeRabbit on NVIDIA#2247.

Publish identifiers, not paths. The profile is intended to ship alongside a
checkpoint, so serialising args.model_dir / args.draft_model_dir verbatim would
bake internal cluster layout (/lustre/fsw/portfolios/...) into a public artifact,
and an absolute path is not portable for a reader in any case. checkpoint_id()
reduces a path to its trailing org/model, which is both the useful part and the
HuggingFace-style id. configuration.json still records full paths for local
debugging.

Clear profile metadata when a run has no --save_dir. The metadata is class-level
state (following the existing Metric.update_directory pattern), so an in-process
second run -- the AR-vs-K sweep this schema is built for is exactly that shape --
could otherwise inherit the previous run's destination.

Declare __all__. Not re-exported from specdec_bench/__init__.py as suggested:
that module deliberately exposes only __version__ and must stay importable
without modelopt (the vLLM container has no modelopt), so widening it would break
its own convention. Noted inline so the omission reads as deliberate.

Signed-off-by: Ye Yu <yeyu@nvidia.com>
The first real measurement (nvidia/MiniMax-M2.7-DFlash on MT-Bench, 30653 decode
steps) failed the profile's own consistency check: 1 + sum(marginals) = 2.4733
against a reported 2.5467. The vectors were right; the mean was the wrong one.

Average_AL averages per-request accept length over requests, weighting a short
request the same as a long one. The acceptance vectors describe a per-*step*
distribution -- both dynamo's mocker and vLLM's synthetic sampler draw a length
per decode step -- so the identity was comparing incompatible quantities and would
have flagged every real run.

mean_accept_length is now computed from the acceptance-length histogram, which is
what the vectors describe. The per-request figure is kept as
mean_accept_length_per_request, since published model cards do not always state
which mean they quote and the comparison is worth preserving.

This also sharpens what the check guards. Both sides now derive from the same
histogram, so the identity holds exactly whenever the published vector spans every
observed acceptance length -- meaning what it actually detects is truncation: a
num_speculative_tokens that understates the K the run used cuts the vector short
and would otherwise silently describe a weaker draft than was measured. Given K is
derived from CLI flags whose meaning varies by method, that is the failure mode
worth catching. Test updated accordingly, plus one pinning both means on the real
MiniMax histogram.

checkpoint rather than an ambiguous one.

Verified by round-tripping the real measured profile for
nvidia/MiniMax-M2.7-DFlash (conditional [0.816, 0.777, 0.750], AL 2.925) through
the exporter byte-identically.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes add speculation-profile construction from benchmark acceptance data and transport profiles during speculative-decoding export. Export validates supplied profiles, preserves future schema versions, and writes an unmeasured stub when no profile is provided.

Changes

Speculation profile lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Profile schema and construction
examples/specdec_bench/specdec_bench/speculation_profile.py, examples/specdec_bench/tests/test_speculation_profile.py
The profile builder normalizes identifiers, densifies sparse measurements, derives conditional rates, validates probabilities and mean consistency, and distinguishes measured from unmeasured data. Tests cover these behaviors, including non-longest-prefix verification.
Benchmark metadata and profile writing
examples/specdec_bench/run.py, examples/specdec_bench/specdec_bench/metrics/acceptance_rate.py
Benchmark runs provide method, checkpoint, model, token-count, and measurement metadata. AcceptanceRate writes profiles for saved runs and clears shared metadata when no output directory exists.
Profile transport during export
examples/speculative_decoding/scripts/export_hf_checkpoint.py, modelopt/torch/export/unified_export_hf.py, modelopt/torch/export/plugins/hf_spec_export.py, tests/unit/torch/export/test_speculation_profile_export.py
The export CLI and API accept an optional profile. The exporter copies valid profiles, rejects missing or malformed inputs, preserves future schema versions, and writes an unmeasured stub when omitted. Tests cover each behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0f55e

The PR adds profile metadata to exported speculative-decoding checkpoints, but an unrelated profile can currently be attached to model weights and failures after checkpoint export can leave incomplete or stale metadata; empty benchmark output may also appear as measured zero acceptance. These bounded artifact-integrity and test-readiness issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Two real bugs from review on NVIDIA#2313/NVIDIA#2315/NVIDIA#2316.

dump_env() had been pulled out of the --save_dir branch by the earlier
profile-metadata change, so configuration.json stopped being written for runs
that requested it, and a run without --save_dir would have called
dump_env(args, None, ...) -> os.makedirs(None). Restored to the branch it belongs
in; the metadata reset stays in the else.

Densification defaulted an absent acceptance length to 0.0. That is only correct
past the maximum observed length. For a gap -- lengths 1 and 3 observed but not 2
-- P(len >= 2) still equals P(len >= 3), because no step ended at exactly 2.
Filling the gap with zero understated acceptance and broke the AL identity while
looking entirely plausible: exactly the silent-wrongness this schema exists to
prevent.

Marginals are now built as a proper survival function, walking lengths downward so
a missing entry inherits the value above it, and conditionals are derived as
ratios of consecutive marginals rather than read from the sparse per-length map.
That also keeps the two vectors mutually consistent when a length was never
observed.

Verified the real MiniMax-M2.7 DFlash profile is bit-for-bit unchanged by the fix
(its histogram is dense, so the old path happened to be right there), with new
regression tests covering the gapped and empty cases.

…thod

Three review points from NVIDIA#2313/NVIDIA#2315/NVIDIA#2316, all guarding against a profile that
looks valid to a consumer but is not.

Rates are validated at the public boundary. Both known consumers treat them as
probabilities -- dynamo feeds them to rng.random_bool(), vLLM's synthetic sampler
expects a survival function -- and neither validates, so a NaN or an out-of-range
entry does not fail there, it produces nonsense acceptance. Rejected before
serialization instead.

An empty measurement no longer reports measured=true. Zero observed steps would
otherwise advertise a draft that accepts nothing, which reads identically to a
genuinely terrible draft.

Block verification now withholds the vectors rather than publishing them. These
rates describe longest-prefix verification, where acceptance stops at the first
rejection. vLLM also offers block verification, which accepts or rejects a drafted
block jointly and produces a different length distribution entirely; publishing
the vectors under that method would invite a consumer to read them as
longest-prefix data. They are set to null with an explicit
vectors_unavailable_reason, while the histogram and mean -- which still describe
something real -- are kept.

Verified the real MiniMax-M2.7 DFlash profile is unchanged.

Adds the case the existing rejection tests miss. Those cover valid JSON of the
wrong shape; this one never parses -- a half-written profile from an interrupted
run is the realistic way to produce it, and it must fail on the parser rather than
slip through.

Mark empty measurements as unmeasured.

When Acceptance_Length_Histogram is absent or empty, build_profile() emits zero rates and a 0.0 mean but still sets "measured": True. The added empty-histogram test drives this state. Exported metadata then presents a missing measurement as measured zero acceptance. Return an unmeasured profile, or set measured to False and omit the mean. Add an assertion for that state in test_empty_histogram_does_not_claim_a_measurement.

Use the effective DFLASH K

When --block_size is omitted, run.py stores args.draft_length as num_speculative_tokens, but passes None to the DFLASH wrappers. vLLM and SGLang can resolve None from the DFLASH model configuration, so the profile metadata may not match the measured K. Require a positive block_size or record the resolved serving value.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Skip mean-consistency validation for an unmeasured profile.

When the histogram is empty, mean_accept_length is 0.0 and the marginal vector contains zeros. _consistency_check() then fails because its implied mean is 1.0. AcceptanceRate._write_speculation_profile() logs a warning for this valid unmeasured case. Set mean_consistency to None or a passing not-applicable result when measured is false. Add a regression test for the validation result.
