Complete copy-paste recipe — pull the container, pull the model (fresh), pull the DFlash drafter (fresh), then serve with the vetted DGX Spark recipe (DFlash n=10, drafter `flash_attn`, body `triton_attn`). The recipe notes below cover tag-specific drafter backends and the production GPU-util / context-tier profile; see also Container Image Details. **Recipe notes — the drafter backend is tied to the image tag:** - **On `:latest` / `:2026-07-01-v0.24.0` (current; same behavior as the `:2026-06-18-v0.23.0-dflashfix` fix lineage):** the drafter **must** use `attention_backend: flash_attn` (enabled for multimodal Gemma targets by PR #41703's `use_mm_prefix=False`). `flex_attention` **crashes at the first request** on this image (non-contiguous KV view in the new KV-sharing path). `--enable-prefix-caching` is safe and recommended — soak-validated with DFlash (see the fixes section below). - **On the rollback tag `:2026-06-04-pr44389` (pre-fix):** the reverse — only `flex_attention` loads (`flash_attn` fails with `partial multimodal token full attention not supported`), the drafter silently runs without sliding-window support (~0% acceptance beyond 2k-token contexts), and `--enable-prefix-caching` triggers a slow acceptance collapse (see below). Not recommended. - Either way the body stays on `triton_attn` (Gemma's heterogeneous head dims), and do **not** set `--kv-cache-dtype fp8` — DFlash's non-causal drafter requires BF16 KV. `--reasoning-parser gemma4` cleanly splits `enable_thinking` output into `reasoning_content`. `num_speculative_tokens=10` is the value our production fleet runs; the drafter's trained block size is 16 and z-lab ships 15 — an n=10-vs-15 re-bench on the fixed drafter is pending (the earlier "10 beats 15" result was measured on the pre-fix drafter and shouldn't be treated as settled). The model's `config.json` already ships the vision ignore-list fix (`re:.*embed_vision.*`, `re:.*vision_tower.*`) so vLLM keeps the vision tower BF16. This default profile suits agentic gateways — one large full-context chat plus many short-lived subagents under the `--max-num-seqs 64` cap. For short-context throughput benchmarking, use `--max-model-len 32768 --max

Measured on DGX Spark: **mean accepted length 3.3/3, P0 ≈ 90% acceptance, avg draft acceptance 78%** — comparable to the base model, confirming abliteration doesn't damage the model's top-K distribution that MTP relies on. Credit to `@tcclaviger` for the empirical finding (discussion #6) that MTP doesn't need retraining post-abliteration. **No retraining was performed.** The MTP head is the unmodified base — only the residual-stream-writing weights of the LM were orthogonalized in the original v8 abliteration pass; the MTP head is independent of that pathway.

This is the **fidelity** member of the MLX quant grid (29.5 GB on disk, 8.634 bpw) — the tightest match to the BF16 source you can run natively on Apple Silicon. Affine 8-bit is near-lossless on the residual-writers, and the recipe keeps the numerically fragile **Gated-DeltaNet** recurrence, the entire **vision tower**, and the **MTP head** in BF16 so the hybrid SSM, multimodal path, and self-speculation all stay intact. For a tight unified-memory budget (24 GB+ Macs) at ~3.2× the single-stream throughput, the compact **MLX-FP4** sibling is one click away.

Understand before you choose

Selection guide & FAQ
How should API prices be compared?+

Separate input, output and cache rates, then estimate the same workload. Image, audio and video rates may use items, duration or resolution rather than tokens.

Do open weights mean free commercial use?+

Not necessarily. Check each version’s license, commercial restrictions and policies. Self-hosting also incurs compute and maintenance costs.

Is the top-ranked model the best for me?+

Rankings depend on tasks, versions and methods. Compare accuracy, latency, reliability and costs on your own workload.
