MTP feature degrades output quality for Qwen 3.6 and Gemma 4 models

A user on r/LocalLLaMA reported a significant decrease in output quality when using the MTP (Multi-Turn Processing) feature with Qwen 3.6 and Gemma 4 models. Despite MTP offering higher token generation speeds, the user found that non-MTP versions produced more comprehensive and useful code review results, often with fewer tokens. This contradicts common understanding that MTP provides performance gains without sacrificing quality, leading the user to seek similar experiences from others. AI
