Running Qwen3.8-Flash-Next FP8 at 524K context on dual RTX 6000

The author successfully ran Qwen3.8-Flash-Next FP8 at 524K context on 2x RTX PRO 6000 using vLLM.
Config: TP2 + EP2, MTP3, PLE CPU offload, YaRN 2x, and --max-model-len 524288.
Issue & Fix:
- When extending beyond 262K, the target model updated correctly, but the MTP draft remained at 262K, causing validation failures.
- Fix: Patched the Qwen3.8 MTP config to inherit the target maxmodellen before vLLM builds the cache.
Status: Boots cleanly with 654,980 tokens KV cache and 1.25x concurrency.
