| sidebar-title | Profile with SpecBench Dataset |
|---|
AIPerf supports benchmarking using the SpecBench dataset, which contains diverse questions across writing, reasoning, math, and coding categories. This dataset is commonly used for evaluating speculative decoding methods.
This guide covers profiling OpenAI-compatible chat completions endpoints using the SpecBench public dataset.
Launch a vLLM server with a chat model:
docker pull vllm/vllm-openai:latest
docker run --gpus all -p 8000:8000 vllm/vllm-openai:latest \
--model Qwen/Qwen3-0.6BVerify the server is ready:
curl -s localhost:8000/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"model":"Qwen/Qwen3-0.6B","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"test"}],"max_tokens":1}'AIPerf downloads the SpecBench JSONL file from GitHub and uses the first turn of each question as a single-turn prompt.
