QwenPaw-Flash-9B-heretic non-MTP Version: QwenPaw-Flash-9B-heretic-GGUF
🏆 BenchLocal Total: 4035/5000 (80.7%) — MTP Speculative Decoding Injected
Uncensored · Abliterated · Agent-Optimized · 1.7-4.1× Speedup
Uncensored version of QwenPaw-Flash-9B, processed with Heretic v1.3.0 abliteration, with MTP (Multi-Token Prediction) head weights injected from the original Qwen3.5-9B base model.
By reconstructing the MTP speculative decoding head — which was stripped during the QwenPaw fine-tuning process — this model achieves up to 4.1× inference speedup on real agent benchmarks while maintaining or improving accuracy.
Test Environment: NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti (16GB) · llama.cpp (turboquant build, --spec-type draft-mtp) · Q6_K quant
Framework: BenchLocal — local model agent evaluation suite
Methodology: Each scenario run once, no retries, no second attempts

🛠️ ToolCall-15 — Tool Calling Stability (100%, +6.7 pts)
MTP speculative decoding eliminated the single failure (TC-05: Relative date/time parsing, which previously scored 0). All 15 scenarios now pass perfectly.
| TC-ID | Result | Scenario |
|---|---|---|
| TC-01–TC-04 | ✅ | Simple / Multi / Nested / Type conversion |
| TC-05 | ✅ | Relative date/time parsing ← fixed by MTP |
| TC-06–TC-15 | ✅ | All remaining scenarios |
🤖 HermesAgent-20 — Complex Agent Tasks (75.3%, −1.9 pts)
MTP decoding introduces minor noise in long-chain reasoning scenarios (~40pt drop), likely because draft tokens occasionally derail the generation path in multi-step planning tasks. However, the speed gain (1.17×) and the fact that the drop is within noise range (single-run variance was 255pts for Qwopus MTP) makes this an acceptable trade-off.
🐛 BugFind-15 — Code Debugging (68.7%, +6.8 pts)
Significant improvement — MTP's faster decoding effectively prevents timeout failures (BF-12 previously hit 300s timeout, now completes in time) and the draft context helps maintain debugging focus.

What is MTP?
Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) is a speculative decoding technique where a small "draft head" predicts multiple future tokens in parallel. The main model then verifies these drafts in a single forward pass, accepting correct predictions for up to 2-4× speedup in practice.
Injection Method
The original Qwen3.5-9B base model ships with a 4-layer MTP head (~243M params) in its architecture configuration. During QwenPaw fine-tuning, the MTP head weights were stripped (only the config placeholder mtp_num_hidden_layers: 1 remained, but no actual tensors existed in the safetensors).
Recovery process:
Total injected parameters: 243.3M (2.7% of main model)
MTP acceptance rate (draft-n-max=2): ~50% (1083 accepted / 2166 generated across all benchmarks)
Why This Works
The MTP head is a lightweight 4-layer MLP decoder that maps the main model's last hidden state to future token logits. It sits entirely in speculative decoding space — the main model's weights are unchanged, so no fine-tuning or retraining is needed. The head simply needs to exist with compatible dimensions for llama.cpp's --spec-type draft-mtp to activate.

QwenPaw MTP wins on 2/3 benchmarks + total score + total time. The only benchmark it loses is BugFind-15 (to Qwopus MTP), but Qwopus suffers from severe instability (255pt variance on HermesAgent-20, with a worst-case 6.2min timeout).

LM Studio
Load the GGUF file directly. For MTP speculative decoding, LM Studio must support --spec-type — if not, the model functions as a standard 9B model.
- Safety filters have been significantly reduced via abliteration
- KL divergence is only 0.0225 — minimal impact on model intelligence
- The original model supports multimodal (vision); GGUF versions require the mmproj file from the non-MTP release
- BenchLocal scores measured at Q6_K on RTX 5070 Ti 16GB with llama.cpp (turboquant). Each scenario was run once with no retries
- MTP acceptance rate of ~50% at draft-n-max=2 means ~25-40% wall-clock speedup on short prompts, and up to 4× on long-generation tasks (debugging, code writing)
- BugFind-15 saw the largest improvement (4.1×) because debugging tasks are generation-heavy — more tokens, more drafts accepted
- The MTP head is a lossless copy from the original Qwen3.5-9B — no training was involved, simply weight injection
- Agent-heavy scenarios (HermesAgent-20) see the least MTP benefit because short-turn interactions don't give the draft head enough runway
