…ators The Eagle3 model code already reads norm_output via getattr but the speculators config handler was not transferring it from the checkpoint config dict to the PretrainedConfig. This caused Eagle 3.1 checkpoints (which set norm_output=True) to silently fall back to the default (False) at inference time.

LGTM.
Would also like to see "fc_norm" if possible

Same gap as norm_output — the model code reads fc_norm via getattr but the config handler wasn't transferring it from the checkpoint. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Orestis Zambounis <orestis.zambounis@gmail.com>

Hey @benchislett , thanks for approving, I think this needs a "ready" label to run buildkite? |

## Purpose Adds Eagle 3.1 training support with two config flags (matching vLLM's config fields): - **`--norm-before-fc`**: Apply a single RMSNorm to the concatenated target hidden states before the FC projection layer — i.e. `Norm(concat(h₂, h₁₈, h₃₃))`. This was already implemented on main for gpt-oss checkpoint compatibility; this PR adds the training CLI flag and wires it through P-EAGLE. **Note:** the original Eagle 3.1 paper specifies per-layer normalization (`concat(Norm(h₂), Norm(h₁₈), Norm(h₃₃))`), which corresponds to vLLM's `fc_norm` field. Per-layer norm support (`--fc-norm`) will be added in a follow-up PR. - **`--norm-output`**: Feed post-norm hidden states back across TTT steps to stabilize magnitude drift across speculation depths. Both flags default to `False` (opt-in). Also fixes P-EAGLE missing `input_norm` before FC and wires `norm_before_fc` / `norm_output` through the converter and P-EAGLE's `from_training_args`. ### vLLM compatibility - `norm_before_fc` works out of the box with vLLM - `norm_output` requires a one-line patch in vLLM's `algos.py` to propagate the config field (model code already supports it via `getattr`): vllm-project/vllm#46488 ## Tests ```bash pytest tests/unit/test_config.py -k "eagle3_config" -v # config roundtrip pytest tests/integration/models/test_model_forward.py -k "NormOutput" -v # forward pass ``` - `test_norm_output` — both flags enabled, verifies input_norm + forward + backward - `test_norm_output_without_norm_before_fc` — norm_output alone (no input_norm) - `test_peagle_norm_before_fc` — P-EAGLE with norm_before_fc - 4 config roundtrip tests (model_dump, to_dict, save/load_pretrained, defaults) ## Checklist - [x] The purpose of the PR, such as "Fix some issue (link existing issues this PR will resolve)". - [x] The test plan/results, such as providing test command and pasting the results. - [x] The necessary documentation update. - [x] I (a human) have written or reviewed the code in this pr to the best of my ability. --------- Signed-off-by: Orestis Zambounis <orestis.zambounis@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
