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!
