vllm.v1.spec_decode.gemma4 ¶
Gemma4 MTP (Multi-Token Prediction) proposer for speculative decoding.
The Gemma4 assistant model runs all decoder layers per draft step (producing one token), and all its attention layers share KV cache with the target model via cross-model KV sharing.

_create_draft_vllm_config() ¶
Preserve the target's forced TRITON_ATTN backend for draft layers.
Gemma4 forces TRITON_ATTN due to heterogeneous head dimensions (head_dim=256 sliding, global_head_dim=512 full). The base class resets attention_config.backend to None for draft models, causing sliding layers to fall back to FLASH_ATTN which cannot handle KV-shared cache. Override to carry the target's backend through.

_maybe_share_lm_head(target_language_model) ¶
Gemma4 MTP always keeps its own draft-dim lm_head.
The draft model's lm_head operates in draft hidden_size (e.g. 256), which differs from the target's backbone hidden_size (e.g. 1536). Sharing would break compute_logits (and centroids masking when use_ordered_embeddings is enabled).

_setup_centroids_cuda_graphs() ¶
Capture CUDA graphs for centroids get_top_tokens at key sizes.
Source code in vllm/v1/spec_decode/gemma4.py
_setup_gemma4_kv_sharing(target_attn_layer_names) ¶
Wire draft layers to share KV with the target model.
Each draft decoder layer is mapped to the last non-KV-shared target layer of the same attention type (sliding or full).
Source code in vllm/v1/spec_decode/gemma4.py
build_per_group_and_layer_attn_metadata(common_attn_metadata, draft_index=0) ¶
Build attention metadata using the correct block table per group.
Gemma4 has multiple KV cache groups (sliding vs full attention) with different block tables. The base class receives a single common_attn_metadata whose block_table belongs to one group. We swap in the correct block table for each draft attention group.
Source code in vllm/v1/spec_decode/gemma4.py
initialize_attn_backend(kv_cache_config, kernel_block_sizes=None) ¶
Create separate AttentionGroup objects per KV cache spec so that each head-dim variant gets its own metadata builder.

validate_same_kv_cache_group(kv_cache_config) ¶
Draft layers span multiple KV cache groups (sliding + full attention with different head dimensions), so skip the base class single-group assertion.
