# Jetson Speculative Decoding (vLLM)

Speculative decoding lets a small "draft" model propose tokens that the target model verifies in a single forward pass, reducing per-token latency. On Jetson, the win/loss is **dominated by VRAM headroom**, not by the draft quality. This skill encodes the parts an LLM won't already know.

## Purpose

Tune an existing Jetson vLLM deployment for faster token generation by appending the right `--speculative-config` and validating whether it improves single-stream decode speed.

## When to use

- TPOT/ITL is the bottleneck (TTFT is fine, output is just slow).
- Workload is single-stream or low-concurrency (≤2). Speculation usually loses at high concurrency.
- Jetson family is **Thor or AGX Orin**. Do **not** suggest EAGLE-3 on Orin Nano/NX — there is rarely enough VRAM headroom to host both target and draft, and you'll OOM at startup.
