This PR implements basic support for speculative decoding for the llama_cpp loader. It supports loading a gguf model as a draft model or using the built-in LlamaPromptLookupDecoding class. Tested with
Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct-Q4_K_L.gguf
andqwen2.5-coder-1.5b-instruct-q4_k_m.gguf
as the draft model, showing a significant speed-up:no speculative decoding: 22t/s
prompt lookup decoding: 24t/s
draft model decoding: 30t/s
The PR still needs some testing. Not sure if setting all the parameters for the draft model in the UI would be desirable or if copying parameters from the main model would be more appropriate.
