Qwen3.8-27B-DFlash2-GGUF

Blog | GitHub

This repository contains GGUF conversions of incoai/Qwen3.8-27B-DFlash2, the DFlash 2 draft model for Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B. It is not a standalone language model: it runs inside a speculative decoding server and drafts tokens for the target model to verify. The checkpoints are also mirrored at z-lab/Qwen3.8-27B-DFlash2-GGUF.

DFlash 2 is a block-diffusion drafter for speculative decoding. It predicts a whole block of tokens in a single pass and keeps the top candidates at every position. A lightweight selector then traces one coherent path through them. Two-tap dynamic convolutions in the backbone keep the draft from decaying toward the end of the block. Decoding is lossless: greedy output matches the target model exactly, and sampling preserves its distribution.

DFlash 2: parallel block drafting with a candidate path selector

`Qwen3.8-27B-DFlash2-Q8_0.gguf`	2.0 GB
`Qwen3.8-27B-DFlash2-BF16.gguf`	3.8 GB

Quick Start

Build llama.cpp with DFlash 2 support (PR #27342):

git clone https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp.git
cd llama.cpp
git fetch origin pull/27342/head:pr-27342
git switch pr-27342

# NVIDIA CUDA
cmake -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DGGML_CUDA=ON
cmake --build build -j

# Apple Silicon
cmake -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DGGML_METAL=ON
cmake --build build -j

Then serve:

./build/bin/llama-server \
  -hf ggml-org/Qwen3.8-27B-GGUF:Q4_K_M \
  -hfd incoai/Qwen3.8-27B-DFlash2-GGUF:Q4_K_M \
  --spec-type draft-dflash \
  --spec-draft-n-max 7

See the blog post for other engines and more details.

Evaluation

Target: ggml-org/Qwen3.8-27B-GGUF, Q4_K_M
Sampling: Qwen3.8's officially recommended parameters (temperature 1.0, top-p 0.95, top-k 20), with xhigh reasoning effort
Maximum new tokens: 2048
Prompts: the first eight GSM8K test examples

Acceptance Length

Acceptance length is the per-request mean of completion tokens divided by verification steps. Higher is better.

Draft GGUF	Acceptance Length
BF16	5.28
Q8_0	5.13
Q4_K_M	5.39

Full evaluations of the base checkpoint are on the main model card.
