ViSpec-LLaVA-1.5-7b (Benchmark Release)

This model repo is part of a multimodal speculative decoding benchmark suite.

Why this repo exists

We maintain a unified benchmark codebase that includes multiple methods (Baseline, EAGLE, EAGLE2, Lookahead, MSD, ViSpec) so users can run training/evaluation more easily under one setup.

• The methods are aggregated here for user convenience (shared dataset format, scripts, and metrics).
• The original ideas and implementations belong to their respective authors.
• This specific Hugging Face repo hosts the ViSpec-LLaVA-1.5-7b checkpoint used in our benchmark runs.

Upstream / Base Model

• Base model: llava-hf/llava-1.5-7b-hf
• Original ViSpec LLaVA release: JLKang/ViSpec-llava-1.5-7b-hf
