Qwen3.5-122B-A10B MXFP4_MOE GGUF with MTP Donor
This is a community-merged GGUF build of Qwen3.5-122B-A10B MXFP4_MOE with an injected MTP donor layer for llama.cpp MTP speculative decoding.
This repository is not an official release from Qwen, Unsloth, or LaikaFramework.
This is an experimental community merge. Please report loading issues, MTP compatibility problems, or runtime results in the Discussions tab.
What this repository contains
This repository provides a merged GGUF file:
Qwen3.5-122B-A10B-MXFP4_MOE-MTP-merged.gguf
The model is intended for testing with a custom llama.cpp build that supports MTP speculative decoding.

Why this merge exists
At the time of testing, complete Qwen3.5-122B-A10B GGUF files with working MTP support were not widely available.
This merge adds the missing MTP/NextN layer metadata and tensors to an existing MXFP4_MOE GGUF base.
The key metadata expected after merge is:
general.architecture = qwen35moe
qwen35moe.block_count = 49
qwen35moe.nextn_predict_layers = 1
Tested environment
Local test environment:
OS: Ubuntu 24.04
Hardware: AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 / Radeon 8060S
Memory: 128GB unified memory
Backend: llama.cpp Vulkan / RADV
Context tested: 262144
MTP setting: --spec-type mtp --spec-draft-n-max 2
Local test results
On the above AMD/Vulkan system, the model successfully loaded as:
qwen35moe_mtp
Observed local performance:
1200-token test:
decode speed: around 31 tok/s
MTP draft acceptance: around 72%
3000-token test:
decode speed: around 31 tok/s
MTP draft acceptance: around 76%
These numbers are only local observations. Your performance may vary significantly depending on backend, hardware, memory bandwidth, context size, and llama.cpp version.

Low-memory KV option
For lower KV cache memory usage at very long context, you may test:
--cache-type-k q4_0 \
--cache-type-v q4_0
In local testing, q4 KV reduced memory pressure and remained usable, but q8 KV is recommended as the default quality-first configuration.
Important notes
- This model requires a llama.cpp build with MTP support.
- This model is not guaranteed to work with stock llama.cpp releases that do not support MTP.
- This file is a community merge and should be treated as experimental.
- Do not use this repository as evidence of official Qwen, Unsloth, or LaikaFramework support.
- MTP speculative decoding primarily improves decode/generation speed, not prefill speed.
- Very long context still requires substantial KV cache memory.
