As of July 13, AMD Quark trains, quantizes, and serves EAGLE-3 drafts through vLLM, reporting up to 2.00x for Kimi-K2.5 and 1.79x for MiniMax-M2.5. Related July work: ROCm end-to-end on MI355X with a prebuilt container (July 10), plus Hopper-optimized attention and FP8 MoE backends improving TTFT and TPOT on H20. If you self-host and haven't turned on a draft model, this is the biggest single-config win currently sitting on the table. (vLLM Blog)
