MSD-LLaVA1.5-7B

MSD-LLaVA1.5-7B (Benchmark Release)

This model repo is part of a multimodal speculative decoding benchmark suite.

Why this repo exists

We maintain a unified benchmark codebase that includes multiple methods (Baseline, EAGLE, EAGLE2, Lookahead, MSD, ViSpec) so users can run training/evaluation more easily under one setup.

• The methods are aggregated here for user convenience (shared dataset format, scripts, and metrics).
• The original ideas and implementations belong to their respective authors.
• This specific Hugging Face repo hosts the MSD-LLaVA1.5-7B checkpoint used in our benchmark runs.

Upstream / Base Model
