Speculative Decoding in vLLM on AMD GPUs

Whilst this is an excellent post from vLLM, one of the truly baffling things from either their team or AMDs team, is how much the workstation grade AMD r9700 has been ignored.

Stock vLLM runs so slowly on these cards compared with vLLM forks like Radiance. Going from say 20-30t/s gen, to 150-200t/s

Most of AMD/vLLM work seems to be around their data centre cards, or the AMD AI Halo/Ryzen and ignores the R9700 AI Pro.

Really wish this would change.
