I want to train my own model, so do I need to first train an Eagle model for it? Or use a randomly generated eagle model?

Thank you for your interest in our work! Yes, we recommend first training an EAGLE model or fine-tuning a publicly available checkpoint to bootstrap speculative-decoding inference.
