Changelog
  • DFlash speculative decoding: --spec-type dflash drives a DFlash draft GGUF alongside the target model. The target captures hidden states into a per-layer 4096-slot ring buffer, the drafter cross-attends to the most recent --spec-dflash-cross-ctx hidden-state tokens and proposes drafts for target verification.
  • TurboQuant / TCQ KV-cache compression: Five cache types (turbo2, turbo3, turbo4, turbo2_tcq, turbo3_tcq) spanning from 4x to 7.5x compression, with higher-bit options being practically lossless in many cases. Set independently with --cache-type-k and --cache-type-v.
  • Adaptive draft-max control: The server adjusts the active draft horizon at runtime instead of using a fixed --spec-draft-n-max. The default profit controller compares speculative throughput against a no-spec baseline; the fringe alternative maps acceptance-rate bands to draft depth. Use --no-spec-dm-adaptive for a static horizon.
  • Full multimodal support: When --mmproj is active, the server keeps flat DFlash available for text generation. The model can be fully offloaded to CPU with no problems to reduce VRAM pressure.
  • Reasoning-loop protection: The server detects repeated hidden reasoning output and intervenes. Default mode is force-close with --reasoning-loop-window and --reasoning-loop-max-period tuning available.
  • Sampled DFlash verification: --spec-draft-temp enables rejection-sampling drafter behavior. Activates when both draft and target temperature exceed zero. Draft log probabilities must be available for rejection sampling to produce correct output.
  • DDTree branch verification: optional --spec-branch-budget adds branch nodes beyond the main draft path with GPU parent_ids, tree masks, and recurrent tree kernels. Disabled automatically when the target model spans more than one GPU. This one is very much work in progress!
  • Request-level speculative overrides: Draft-max and branch budget can be overridden per-request through JSON fields without restarting the server.
  • CopySpec model-free speculation: --spec-type copyspec provides rolling-hash suffix matching over previous tokens without a draft model. Results must be benchmarked per workload.
