Draftfit — MiniCPM5-2B-SFT DFlash CE
Draftfit trains and adapts speculative-decoding draft models for a frozen target LLM.
This checkpoint is the DFlash CE branch adapted to:
- Target:
openbmb/MiniCPM5-2B-SFT - Starting draft:
openbmb/MiniCPM5-2B-DSpark
Each Draftfit family has separate weights. DSpark, DFlash CE, DFlash DPACE and DFlash2 are not one universal checkpoint.

Which draft should I use?
| Draft | Best use |
|---|---|
| DSpark | Best first choice when adapting an existing DSpark draft to a new target |
| DFlash CE | Simple block-parallel DFlash baseline |
| DFlash DPACE | Test position-weighted training objectives against CE |
| DFlash2 | Research richer candidate ranking / grouped-convolution drafts |
For this MiniCPM5-SFT experiment, DSpark is the strongest practical baseline.
Draftfit DSpark reached 116.15 tok/s vs 105.38 tok/s for the official DSpark in the tested MLX setup.
These measurements do not establish a general speed advantage.
Revisions
| Revision | Description |
|---|---|
main | DFlash CE, primary release |
v5 | Additional 1,000-step continual-training stage on a fresh split |
Different revisions used different held-out sets, so their measurements should not be used to rank revisions directly.
Validation notes
The models were trained for 1,000 steps per stage using disjoint 1,000-conversation training sets.
Training mixture per stage:
| Dataset | Rows |
|---|---|
| PerfectBlend deduplicated | 700 |
| OpenCodeInstruct | 100 |
| APIGen-MT-5k | 100 |
| Nemotron-Agentic-v1 | 100 |
Important limitations:
- DSpark/DFlash serving correctness still requires exact token/state and acceptance-length validation.
- DFlash2 was tested on MLX but not with SGLang 0.5.16.
- A successfully loaded draft checkpoint does not prove correct speculative decoding.
- Reported speed is specific to the tested target, hardware, verifier settings and prompt set.
