DFlash

Qwen3-Coder Next DFlash, the DFlash speculative-decoding draft converted to GGUF by Atomic Chat. Built straight from z-lab's original weights. Runs fully offline.

What this is

DFlash is a speculative-decoding method that drafts a whole block of candidate tokens in a single forward pass using a lightweight block-diffusion model, instead of one token at a time. This repo is the draft component only — it does nothing on its own. You run it alongside the target model Qwen/Qwen3-Coder-Next, which verifies the drafted block and keeps the longest correct prefix. Output is identical to running the target alone, just faster.

These GGUFs are converted from z-lab's original weights, not a repack of someone else's GGUF. The draft attaches to any GGUF of the target model (Atomic, unsloth, bartowski, ...).

Run in llama.cpp

Needs a build of llama.cpp with DFlash speculative decoding (PR #22105). You supply the target as -m and this draft as -md:

./llama-server \
    -m   Qwen3-Coder-Next.gguf \
    -md  Qwen3-Coder-Next-DFlash.Q8_0.gguf \
    --spec-type draft-dflash --spec-draft-n-max 15 \
    -ngl 99 -fa on --jinja -c 8192

DFlash is trained for non-thinking generation — pass enable_thinking=false in the chat template for best acceptance.

Choosing a quant

Quant Size Notes
Q8_0 0.51 GB Recommended. Near-lossless draft head, small and fast to draft with.

Performance

z-lab report up to 6.17x lossless acceleration on their reference stack (vLLM / SGLang / Transformers). In llama.cpp today the DFlash port is newer: in our tests dense targets get roughly 1.8x-2.8x end-to-end on code generation, and acceptance climbs on larger targets and structured/code output. Acceptance and speedup depend on the target and the content, not on the quantization. Speedups shrink on free-form prose and on small-active MoE targets.
