MTP's speedup effect depends on the draft acceptance rate, and the acceptance rate highly depends on whether the context visible at draft time is sufficient.

UnverifiedThe actual speedup gained from MTP depends on the prediction acceptance rate; if predictions are frequently incorrect and fall back to token-by-token decoding, the acceleration benefit is significantly reduced.72% similarUnverifiedThe number of MTP draft tokens involves a trade-off between acceptance rate and computational overhead; setting it too high may be counterproductive if draft tokens are frequently rejected.71% similarVerifiedA higher acceptance rate means the draft model's guesses are more accurate and the large model needs to redo less work, which directly determines the actual speedup achieved by speculative decoding.70% similarUnverifiedThe 1.5x–3x speedup given in the documentation is a range under ideal conditions; actual gains depend heavily on how often the draft model guesses the target model's output correctly—the more routine the task and the more predictable the text, the higher the acceptance rate, while creative writing or highly specialized domain Q&A may see discounts.69% similarUnverifiedMTP causes slightly slower time-to-first-token and higher VRAM usage, making it more worthwhile for longer responses, while its advantage is not significant for short Q&A.68% similar
