Ling model benchmark shows MTP gains but slower prose with higher speculative tokens

A recent benchmark test of the Ling model, specifically Ling-3.0-flash, has revealed performance characteristics related to Multi Token Prediction (MTP) and speculative decoding. When MTP was enabled with n=1 (proposing one draft token per step), throughput increased significantly by approximately 79% compared to a baseline without MTP. However, increasing 'n' to 2 or 3, which allows for more draft tokens, led to a decrease in prose generation speed, indicating that higher acceptance lengths did not translate to faster performance in this specific configuration.
