David Hendrickson announced that Qwen3.8-27B now achieves around 70 tokens per second on an M5 Max MacBook Pro using MLX, without sacrificing model size or output quality. This speedup is enabled by DFlash 2, which leverages speculative decoding to generate multiple candidate tokens in parallel while verifying them. Users can run this locally with two models and the updated oMLX software, avoiding cloud inference or specialized GPUs. However, some divergence in longer outputs compared to plain autoregressive decoding was noted.
🍎⚡ Qwen3.8-27B is now hitting ~70 tok/s on an M5 Max MacBook Pro with MLX. And this isn’t a smaller model or a quality-reducing speed hack. DFlash 2 landed for Qwen3.8-27B, using speculative decoding to generate multiple candidate tokens in parallel while Qwen verifies them.
