MTP inference speed issues in llama.cpp explained

A technical blog post explains why Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) in llama.cpp might not improve inference speed as expected. The author details three primary reasons for this performance issue: a low acceptance rate of predicted tokens, KV cache thrashing due to aggressive candidate generation, and CUDA graph capture failures when MTP introduces dynamic shapes. The post provides a step-by-step guide for diagnosing these problems, including measuring acceptance rates, monitoring VRAM usage, and testing inference with CUDA graphs disabled. AI
