vLLM's MTP3 validation: AIME25 up to 0.9667, prefill kernels up to 84% lower latency

vLLM validated MTP3 against baseline on B300 DEP8: AIME25 improved from 0.9500 to 0.9667, while GPQA and OCRBench stayed flat, with zero request errors across two rounds. The team stressed these are tested-build results, not final-release validation, and small deltas don't establish general model-quality gains. Alongside, sparse prefill optimizations cut indexer logits kernel latency 43%, top-k kernel 84%, and overall prefill 2.2%, removing 7 JIT warmups and capping chunks at 4,096 tokens.
