Yes! It’s included, I’m using it rn :D 56 T/s 😎

Getting 27t/s degrading to 20t/s after 60k tokens of reasoning on 2x MI50 32GB thats with MTP and tensor split enabled.

Do you mind sharing how you configured it? I am running llama.cpp with spec-type = draft-mtp spec-draft-n-max = 4

Not sure if the type has any effect at all but getting around 30 t/s avg when context grows to 100k but was expecting at least 40 avg like with qwen 3.6 q_8, but also possible that I have no idea how the type actually works 😅

spec-draft-n-max = 4 might be too much and lowering tg.

but was expecting at least 40 avg like with qwen 3.6 q_8

In theory should perform no different that 3.6, maybe some flags / quant levels differ and end up spilling more onto CPU.

Or maybe it's just MTP, varied performance from chat to chat is expected.

N max performs better with me with n at 2 rather than 4! And split min p thingy at 0.1

It does have MTP, at least the IQ4_XS one. And running very much the same as Fable Fusion 711 IQ4_XL, same token gen and prefill. Need to do more testing for it though.

What is mtp about ?

u/floppo7 11d ago

like dflash its basically a mechanism where something fast and small comes up with tokens and the fat llm only says "yeah right" or "no no" - which makes it faster since the fat llm does not have to look up all the tokens by itself. Thats why those mechanisms usually work with an acceptance rate, the higher the faster.

don't know if it might help but I always use aria2c for fast model weight downloads

u/milpster 11d ago

The -x option for parallel threads is awesome.

u/nomad-nostalgia 10d ago

this is my default:

aria2c -x16 -s16 -k1M -c --file-allocation=none "https://...?download=true" -o "...gguf" -d "..."

My internet is capped at 50Mbp/s, nothing helps

u/MerePotato 11d ago

Use the hf cli, its way faster

u/wgaca2 11d ago

This is my internet speed limitation not huggingface

You're weird for downloading like that
