About MTPLX
MTPLX is a native Mac app and a command line that runs local language models on Apple Silicon with the model's own multi-token prediction (MTP) heads. It runs Qwen 3.8 Flash Next, the 125B mixture of experts, Qwen 3.8 27B and Prism ML's Ternary Bonsai 2 27B, plus Qwen 3.6, Qwen 3.5 and Gemma 4. The model drafts several tokens ahead of itself, one batched forward pass verifies the draft, and tokens are committed through exact rejection sampling with residual correction.
