Qwen3 8B Ins Draft OPD

--- base_model: - z-lab/Qwen3-8B-DFlash-b16 license: mit pipeline_tag: text-generation library_name: transformers --- # Qwen3-8B-Ins-Draft-OPD This repository contains **Qwen3-8B-Ins-Draft-OPD**, a draft model for speculative decoding. The model is post-trained from [`z-lab/Qwen3-8B-DFlash-b16`](https://huggingface.co/z-lab/Qwen3-8B-DFlash-b16). It keeps the overall architecture and inference interface consistent with the original DFlash draft model, while further adapting the draft model through the Draft-OPD post-training method. - **Paper:** [Draft-OPD: On-Policy Distillation for Speculative Draft Models](https://huggingface.co/papers/2605.29343) - **Project Page:** [https://www.haodilei.top/draft-opd/](https://www.haodilei.top/draft-opd/) - **Repository:** [https://github.com/bingyang-lei/Draft-OPD](https://github.com/bingyang-lei/Draft-OPD) ## Model Details - **Target Model:** [`Qwen3-8B(enable_thinking=False)`](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3-8B) - **Model type:** Draft model for speculative decoding - **Architecture:** Same as the original DFlash draft model - **Post-training method:** Draft-OPD ## Performance and Training Method Draft-OPD (On-Policy Distillation) trains speculative draft models with on-policy target feedback. Instead of only learning from fixed target-generated trajectories, the drafter is supervised on draft-induced states exposed during speculative verification, including the positions where draft proposals are rejected. Experiments show that Draft-OPD achieves over 5x lossless acceleration for thinking models across diverse tasks, improving over previous methods like EAGLE-3 and DFlash.
