Summary
The EAGLE team, in collaboration with vLLM and TorchSpec, has introduced EAGLE 3.1, an advancement in speculative decoding algorithms for large language models. This new version addresses performance degradation issues that occur with different chat templates, long-context inputs, and out-of-distribution system prompts, improving robustness, efficiency, and deployability in production environments.

· 3 pulledThe EAGLE series — including EAGLE 1, EAGLE 2, and EAGLE 3 — has become one of the most widely adopted and practically deployed families of speculative decoding algorithms across both research and production systems.
Today, the EAGLE team, vLLM team, and TorchSpec team are excited to jointly introduce EAGLE 3.1 — a major step forward in speculative decoding robustness, efficiency, and deployability.
While speculative decoding performs well in controlled settings, performance often degrades under different chat templates, long-context inputs, or out-of-distribution system prompts.
