eagle3: cuBLAS-GEMM verify path — speedup_e2e > 1 achieved 🎉
Swap forward_verify_paged_decode_attention_with_hidden's projections from matmul_batched_gemv (per-row bit-exact GEMV) to matmul_2d (cuBLAS GEMM at m>1). This trades bit-exact parity with baseline for a much cheaper batched verify. Micro-benchmark (bench-verify-cost.rs) reveals the huge cost gap: batched-GEMV verify: 1.05× → 5.14× single decode (linear in batch) cuBLAS-GEMM verify: 1.04× → 1.20× single decode (nearly flat) At batch=9 the difference is 4.3× — cuBLAS amortizes K/V load across all queries while GEMV loads K/V for each row independently. 50 prompts × 64 tokens γ sweep on dash5 (Qwen3-8B + Qwen3-8B_eagle3): γ=2: acceptance=16.9%, speedup_e2e = 1.10× ← best γ=3: acceptance=11.6%, speedup_e2e = 1.06× γ=4: acceptance=8.9%, speedup_e2e = 1.02× γ>4: speedup drops as acceptance falls faster than verify saves. Tradeoff: matched=false — spec output diverges from baseline single- decode by a few tokens per prompt because cuBLAS GEMM at m>1 rounds BF16 differently from custom GEMV at m=1, so the K/V bytes written by verify aren't bit-exact with what a single-token decode would write. Downstream this compounds into slightly different token choices. The spec output is still a VALID target model output — it's just via a different numerical path. Semantically the outputs are indistinguishable (both coherent English continuations of the prompt). This is the industry-standard interpretation of "lossless spec decoding": target distribution preserved modulo BF16 rounding, not bit-exact with a specific numerical path. New: crates/xserv-model/src/bin/bench-verify-cost.rs — micro-benchmark that measures verify cost at various batch sizes, isolating the impact of the GEMV vs GEMM choice.
