mlx-dspark
==========

This project is an independent MLX/Apple-Silicon port of the *inference path* of
DSpark, a speculative-decoding drafter open-sourced by DeepSeek as part of the
DeepSpec codebase:

  - DeepSpec: https://github.com/deepseek-ai/DeepSpec  (MIT License)

It loads the published DSpark drafter checkpoints (also released by DeepSeek under
their respective licenses):

  - deepseek-ai/dspark_gemma4_12b_block7
  - deepseek-ai/dspark_qwen3_4b_block7

The drafter architecture, training, and checkpoints are the work of DeepSeek and
the DeepSpec authors. This repository reimplements only the forward/verification
path for MLX and contains no DeepSpec source code. Target models (Gemma-4, Qwen3)
are downloaded at runtime from their respective publishers and are subject to
their own licenses (e.g. the Gemma Terms of Use and the Qwen license).

No model weights are bundled with this package.
