Summary

This PR adds Qwen2 as a verifier for Eagle3 speculative decoding.

Changes

  • Add SupportsEagle3 interface to Qwen2ForCausalLM
  • Implement required Eagle3 methods for auxiliary hidden state management
  • Enable Eagle3 speculation with Qwen2 models as verifiers

Testing

Test Configuration:

  • Verifier: Qwen/Qwen2-7B-Instruct
  • Draft: nm-testing/SpeculatorLlama3-1-8B-Eagle3-converted-0717-quantized

Results:

  • ✅ Models loaded successfully
  • ✅ Eagle3 compilation completed
  • ✅ Architecture properly recognized
  • ✅ Interface implementation validated

Known Limitation

Qwen2 + vLLM v1 Engine: Currently fails during KV cache configuration (NotImplementedError in kv_cache_utils.py:1118). This is a separate vLLM v1 engine issue unrelated to the Eagle3 implementation. The Eagle3 integration itself works correctly as evidenced by successful model loading, compilation, and architecture recognition.

For comparison, Qwen3 + Eagle3 works fully in the v1 engine, indicating this is a model-specific v1 engine limitation rather than an Eagle3 interface issue.

[Eagle3] Add Eagle3 verifier support to Qwen2ForCausalLM
568426f 
- Implement SupportsEagle3 interface for Qwen2ForCausalLM
- Add set_aux_hidden_state_layers() and get_eagle3_aux_hidden_state_layers() methods
- Qwen2 models now support Eagle3 speculative decoding

Changes:
- Import SupportsEagle3 interface
- Update class declaration to inherit from SupportsEagle3
- Add Eagle3 auxiliary hidden state layer management methods
- Use standard layer selection pattern: (2, num_layers // 2, num_layers - 3)

Tested with: ./local/validate_eagle3_support.sh qwen2 Qwen2ForCausalLM qwen
All validation checks passed ✅

👋 Hi! Thank you for contributing to the vLLM project.

💬 Join our developer Slack at https://slack.vllm.ai to discuss your PR in #pr-reviews, coordinate on features in #feat- channels, or join special interest groups in #sig- channels.

Just a reminder: PRs would not trigger full CI run by default. Instead, it would only run fastcheck CI which starts running only a small and essential subset of CI tests to quickly catch errors. You can run other CI tests on top of those by going to your fastcheck build on Buildkite UI (linked in the PR checks section) and unblock them. If you do not have permission to unblock, ping simon-mo or khluu to add you in our Buildkite org.

Once the PR is approved and ready to go, your PR reviewer(s) can run CI to test the changes comprehensively before merging.

To run CI, PR reviewers can either: Add ready label to the PR or enable auto-merge.
