MTPLX: 2.24x Faster TPS Native MTP Inference Engine for Apple Silicon

MTPLX | 2.24x faster TPS | The native MTP inference engine for Apple Silicon

MTPLX raises Qwen3.6-27B on a MacBook Pro M5 Max from 28 to 63 tok/s. The test used 4-bit MLX, temperature 0.6, top_p 0.95, top_k 20, with D3 as the best depth. The key detail is native MTP heads: no external drafter and no second-model memory.

Why it matters: HKR-H/K/R all pass: a 2.24x speed hook, concrete test conditions, and a local-inference cost nerve. Reddit single-post sourcing and narrow Apple Silicon scope keep it in low featured, not P1.
