LM Studio adds MTP Speculative Decoding for faster local LLM inference

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

LM Studio has updated to version 0.4.14 Build 2 (Beta), integrating MTP Speculative Decoding to accelerate local large language model inference. This feature allows for faster text generation by predicting multiple tokens simultaneously, making local AI interactions more fluid. Additionally, new GGUF quantizations for the Qwen 3.6 35B model have been released, with benchmarks comparing MTP and NTP performance across various hardware, providing users with data to optimize their local LLM deployments. AI

IMPACT Enhances local LLM inference speed and accessibility for users running models on their own hardware.
