If a draft model is combined with a draftless decoding the draftless decoding has higher precedence.
### Backend Sampling
Use `--backend-sampling` to run supported target-model samplers on the model backend. Draft-model sampling uses the backend by default and can be controlled with `--spec-draft-backend-sampling` and `--no-spec-draft-backend-sampling`.
Unsupported samplers and device layouts fall back to CPU sampling. Tensor split mode does not support backend sampling. A fixed seed produces repeatable random draws, but stochastic CPU and backend sampling can still select different tokens because floating-point operations can differ between implementations and devices. Use greedy sampling when exact output matching is required.
### General Speculative Parameters
