Based on advice from LocalLLama implemented a n+2 lookahead prediction for ssd streaming Qwen Flash Next - and it worked!
My project is optimising qwen flash next on Mac Mini m5 64gb through SSD streaming.

Proof1 community thread
Key points
- I recently asked LocalLLama for guidance on how to optimise token output.
- Today a popular method to do this is a lookahead guesser which fetches experts one layer ahead of the current layer.
- The way the various optimisations stack on top of each other this may actually net alot more on a base vanilla setup.
- Edit: Kudos to sdroege for og suggestion!
