ZDTaichu5.0-9B DSpark GGUF

GGUF files for ZDTaichu5.0-9B-DSpark, the official semi-autoregressive speculative decoding draft model developed by the Zi Dong Tai Chu team to accelerate ZDTaichu5.0-9B.

This is a speculative decoding draft model (D-Spark / DFlash), not a standalone general model. It must be paired with the primary ZDTaichu5.0-9B GGUF model during inference to increase generation speeds by up to 60–85%.

Draft model architecture

  • Framework: DSpark (semi-autoregressive DFlash backbone + chained Markov head).
  • Target Layers: Extracts auxiliary hidden states from target layers [1, 8, 15, 22, 29].
  • Block Size: 8 tokens drafted per forward pass (dflash.block_size = 8).
  • Target Model: ZDTaichu5.0-9B GGUF.

Usage

Use this draft model alongside the primary target model abenzerps/ZDTaichu5.0-9B-GGUF with llama.cpp (llama-cli or llama-server):

  --mmproj mmproj-ZDTaichu5.0-9B-BF16.gguf \
  --spec-type draft-dspark \
  --spec-draft-n-max 8 \
  -c 8192 --jinja -fa on --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080

Increase context -c up to 131,072 tokens (128K) when sufficient memory is available.
