### What does this PR do? Type of change: New feature Adds **Domino** speculative decoding: the parallel DFlash draft backbone plus a lightweight **GRU causal correction head**. The backbone produces *base* logits for a full draft block in one forward; a GRU over the block's teacher-forced tokens produces a causal state that is fused with the backbone hidden state and projected to a vocab-sized logit correction on the block suffix — injecting the intra-block causal dependency the parallel backbone lacks. Trained with a dual loss `(1-λ)*final + λ*base`, where `λ_base` decays linearly 1→0 (curriculum: learn the parallel backbone first, then the correction). Reuses the DFlash mode/config/recipe; selected via `dflash_architecture_config.projector_type=domino` and routed to its own registry so `HFDominoModel` does not shadow `HFDFlashModel`. Exports in the z-lab/SpecForge drafter format (`prefix_gru.*` / `embed_proj.*`). > Note: the inference side (vLLM / AR evaluation) is intentionally **not** wired up yet — the correction head is not applied in serving. To be added once the inference path lands. ### Usage ```bash # Online training (recipe: projector_type=domino) uv run launch.py --yaml examples/Qwen/Qwen3-8B/hf_online_domino.yaml --yes ``` ### Testing CPU unit tests in `tests/unit/torch/speculative/plugins/test_hf_domino.py` cover conversion routing, the training forward (dual loss + grads), the λ schedule, and the export format. Online Qwen3-8B training validated end-to-end (loss curve below). <img width="1803" height="809" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7c9d2001-bd80-4dec-919b-443e61089cca" /> ### Before your PR is "*Ready for review*" - Is this change backward compatible?: ✅ (opt-in via `projector_type=domino`; DFlash path unchanged) - If you copied code from any other sources or added a new PIP dependency, did you follow guidance in `CONTRIBUTING.md`: N/A (no new dependency) - Did you write any new necessary tests?: ✅ - Did you update [Changelog](https://github.com/NVIDIA/Model-Optimizer/blob/main/CHANGELOG.rst)?: ✅ - Did you get Claude approval on this PR?: ❌ ### Additional Information Reference: SpecForge PR #571 (z-lab); drafter format `huggingface.co/Huang2020/Qwen3-8B-Domino-b16`. <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit ## Release Notes * **New Features** * Added Domino speculative-decoding training with a decaying base/final dual-loss curriculum and Domino-specific lambda scheduling (training-only; inference wiring not yet included). * Added Domino draft-head export support for training checkpoints. * **Documentation & Configuration** * Added a Domino speculative-decoding training recipe and an HF Online Domino launcher configuration for Qwen3-8B. * **Refactor** * Updated speculative model conversion/export to route to Domino variants based on the configured projector type. * **Tests** * Added unit tests for Domino conversion, training loss/metrics, lambda decay behavior, and exporter output layout. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> --------- Signed-off-by: h-guo18 <67671475+h-guo18@users.noreply.github.com> Signed-off-by: Keval Morabia <28916987+kevalmorabia97@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Co-authored-by: Keval Morabia <28916987+kevalmorabia97@users.noreply.github.com>
