Our AI models are designed and/or optimized to run on NVIDIA GPU-accelerated systems. By leveraging NVIDIA’s hardware (e.g. GPU cores) and software frameworks (e.g., CUDA libraries), the model achieves faster training and inference times compared to CPU-only solutions.

Software Integration:

Supported Runtime Engine(s):

• TensorRT-LLM

Supported Hardware Microarchitecture Compatibility:

• NVIDIA Blackwell

Preferred Operating System(s):

• Linux

The integration of foundation and fine-tuned models into AI systems requires additional testing using use-case-specific data to ensure safe and effective deployment. Following the V-model methodology, iterative testing and validation at both unit and system levels are essential to mitigate risks, meet technical and functional requirements, and ensure compliance with safety and ethical standards before deployment.

Eagle Speculative Decoding

Synthesized data was obtained from Alibaba's Qwen3-235B-A22B-Thinking-2507 model, which is then used to finetune the Eagle modules. This model is ready for inference with TensorRT-LLM in Eagle speculative decoding mode. Eagle modules are used to predict candidate tokens beyond the next token. In the generation step, each forward Eagle module generates a distribution of tokens beyond the previous. Then, a tree-based attention mechanism samples some candidate sequences for the original model to validate. The longest accepted candidate sequence is selected so that more than 1 token is returned in the generation step. The number of tokens generated in each step is called acceptance rate.

Usage

To serve the checkpoint with TensorRT-LLM, follow the sample commands below with the TensorRT-LLM GitHub repo:

trtllm-serve <Qwen3-235B-A22B-Thinking-2507 checkpoint> --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 --backend pytorch --max_batch_size 32 --max_num_tokens 8192 --max_seq_len 8192 --tp_size 8 --extra_llm_api_options extra-llm-api-config.yml

extra-llm-api-config.yml is like this

enable_attention_dp: false
disable_overlap_scheduler: true
enable_autotuner: false

cuda_graph_config:
    max_batch_size: 1

speculative_config:
    decoding_type: Eagle
    max_draft_len: 3
    speculative_model_dir: <eagle3 checkpoint>

kv_cache_config:
    enable_block_reuse: false

Evaluation
