# KAT-Coder-V2.5-Dev-DFlash2-2.6B-A0.3B
A Mixture-of-Experts DFlash2 drafter for [`Kwaipilot/KAT-Coder-V2.5-Dev`](https://huggingface.co/Kwaipilot/KAT-Coder-V2.5-Dev).
Modern MoE target models are well suited to expert offloading on memory-constrained systems and large-scale expert parallelism at datacenter scale. Applying the same sparse structure to speculative drafters is therefore a natural direction. Strong precedents include [`DeepSeek-V3`](https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3) MTP and [`DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731`](https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731) DSpark.
This release explores the same direction with a DFlash2 drafter: approximately 2.6B total parameters with approximately 0.3B activated per token.

## Example: Run with vLLM
This is a drafter checkpoint, not a standalone language model. Pair it with KAT-Coder or a compatible quantized version:
```bash
vllm serve Kwaipilot/KAT-Coder-V2.5-Dev \
--tensor-parallel-size 1 \
--reasoning-parser qwen3 \
--enable-auto-tool-choice \
--tool-call-parser qwen3_coder \
--language-model-only \
--speculative-config '{
"method": "dflash",
"model": "DaoCloud/KAT-Coder-V2.5-Dev-DFlash2-2.6B-A0.3B",
"num_speculative_tokens": 7
}'
```
This checkpoint currently requires a vLLM build containing both [vLLM PR #54154](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/pull/54154), which adds the `sample_from_anchor=true` DFlash query layout, and [vLLM PR #54475](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/pull/54475), which adds MoE DFlash2.
## Checkpoint
The BF16 checkpoint contains 63 tensors and 2,638,551,808 parameters.

## Future work
- Adaptive verification: explore confidence-head-driven adaptive draft budgets for high-concurrency serving.
