Really excited to try this once it is merged into llama.cpp.

Gemma 4 26B-A4B is much quicker on my setup vs Qwen3.6-35B-A3B (by about 3x), so the thought of a 1.5 speedup is tantalizing.

Have tried draft models to limited success (the smaller 3B draft model in addition to a dense 14B Ministral model introduced too much overhead already)

On vllm with a 5090 I get 120-180TPS with the awq 4 bit quant + MTP speculative decoding

For gemma4 26B, same quantization, I get >200TPS.

Also note that qwen is extremely inefficient in reasoning; the reasoning chains are ~3x longer than gemma on average
