Qwen 3.6 27B doubles inference speed with MTP technique

Early adopter reports 2x tokens/second using new multi-token prediction method

Deep Dive

Reddit user /u/UniqueIdentifier00 ran Qwen 3.6 27B using MTP for the first time and doubled their tokens per second. They are now going to look for abliterated MTP models.

Key Points
  • Qwen 3.6 27B achieves 2x tokens/second when running with MTP (multi-token prediction) technique
  • The user is now searching for ablated MTP models to further optimize speed by removing non-essential components
  • MTP reduces sequential decoding steps by predicting multiple tokens at once, improving inference throughput

Why It Matters

Doubling inference speed on 27B models brings open-source AI closer to real-time, cost-effective deployment.
