MTP tuning can unlock 50%–100% more throughput on some local model setups
bradrlaw · reddit · 2026-07-25
The author benchmarks MTP tuning across several model families on a local setup with a P100 and two V100s, and finds that leaving nmax at defaults can waste a lot of performance.
- Different model families respond very differently to the same settings.
- On some models and GPU/card combinations, proper tuning can recover 50–100% more throughput than the default configuration.
- The post includes benchmark scripts, VRAM impact notes, and a GitHub write-up with results for models such as Gemma and Qwen.
