GGUF quants of EryriLabs/Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B-BigBang-MTP:
a TIES merge of Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B + BigBang-v1 over Qwen3.6-35B-A3B, with Ornith's untrained placeholder MTP head
replaced by Qwen3.6's trained one — so speculative decoding actually works (~75% draft acceptance vs ~13% for the
stock random head; see the main repo card for the measurements).
Requires a recent llama.cpp (b10507+ tested; the Qwen3.5-MoE hybrid arch is new).
Where is the MTP?
Two options, pick one:
Separate draft (recommended): the main GGUFs deliberately contain no MTP tensors. Download mtpdraft-Q8_0.gguf (2 GB) once and pass it with -md — it works with every quant here, and with stock Ornith-1.5 GGUFs too.
Embedded:Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B-BigBang-MTP-Q4_K_M-embedded.gguf carries the trained head inside the main file (stock-style blk.40 layout), for tools that expect it embedded.
If you inspect a non-embedded main GGUF and see no MTP tensors, that is by design, not a missing feature.
